Easy trail for the first mile. Second mile has a lot of little ups and down. Narrow trail. Highly suggest wearing pants. 2.7mi

It was close to noon on a Saturday in August and we almost had this glorious trail entirely to ourselves. It changes terrain a few times. So great! — 11h 45m

Easy walking trail, a few man made bridges that are easy to cross.
