What a terrific start to the hike. I began it at the moment the sun was barely coming out. I kicked it off at 6:45am and the sun would greet the day 20 mins later. I loved how there were stairs formed by rocks, the views of the city, and the little bit of difficulties scaling the peak. The people were nice and informative. I regret saying that I didn't see much plant life on the trail but the mountain range was cool. This was my first peak of 2 hiked. So, this was a great preview. It didn't seem hard. A few benches on the way to the top were good source of accommodation. Lastly, the signs were well marked in getting to the peak.
