Alltrails review was not wrong. The first 2 miles of the trail is all up hill. A challenge but do able. The rest of the trail is quite nice. Had a nice surprise of remaining snow along the trail. At some points the snow was melting off the trees and it looked like snow / rain. Glad I wore warm clothes and brought my gloves because it was cold and foggy. It was magical though. 🙂
Unfortunately, couldn’t see the view due to the cloud cover/ fog but still enjoyed the eeriness of it. When I reached the summit, I used the ladder/ rope to climb to the top of the boulder (against my better judgement). It was a little gnarly so I took my time. Glad I didn’t slip and die! Lol

The hike was 10 miles and too me about a little over 4 hours.

Overall the trees and greenery was beautiful. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Challenging but do able. I will definitely come back again some day when the weather is more clear to enjoy the view at the top.
