Hello Fellow Hikers,
This is a beautiful area still green with wild flowers, creek crossings and a waterfall ( should still have water ) this hike is a nice gradual incline so you can enjoy the views yet still get in a good workout. By 9:00am the parking lot fills up so we plan to start at 8:30am however if parking is filling up several people have parked on the side road. I have attached the AllTrails link for directions, stats and photos….
