There are two trails up. One brings you to the back side and the other to the front. Both trails are an easy 5-10 minute hike. Definitely doable for kids. The space up top is very intriguing and fun to explore and you may be able to catch a lizard (if you're into that sort of thing). The sign says if you hike east "10 miles" you get to Kid Curry's grave but it's really only about 100 yards, someone wrote that in with pencil. If you're the adventurouse type there are tons of mini trails all over the mountain side that are fun to explore.

I've hiked up twice to watch the sun set and the city light up. Be aware and prepared if hiking at dusk or nightfall, it is bear and mountain lion country.

Doc Holliday, what else is there to say? Okay, Doc Hollidays grave is located in Glennwood Springs Cokorado. As if you needed another reason to visit Colorado and Glennwood Springs. The drive to the trail enrerence is easy and located is your typical neighborhood setting. That is the extent of things being easy.

The trail is 1/2 mile that is a mix of dirt, gravel, and rock. It's all vertical with some spots being steeper than others. It can be strenuous, especially on hot days. I would probably avoid it on snowy or rainy days.

Now with that said, you don't need mountain climbing gear and have climb Mt Everest. I'm not in the best shape and slightly overweight and was able to navigate the trail. Just peace yourself and don't be afraid to take breaks. Water is a very good idea and highly recommend.
