Trail Overview
The trail transitions from pavement to mostly gravel and some dirt. There are no challenging obstacles and multiple possible routes within the trail system. There's an overlook at mile 3.4 (just past the paved section) and an offshoot at mile 5 that is a dead-end dirt trail. It's a bit rougher than the rest of the trail (fun but still easy). After passing back by the lookout, a left turn takes you further into the trail system. A hiking trailhead is at mile 9.9. Continuing west exits you onto the other side of the mountain from the entrance--the trail can be traversed in either direction. Camping is available.
