I've walked through this hike many times as a local and it is definitely not easy when it's your first time. For first time users, be aware that your legs may get sore from this trail. I highly recommend to bring a water bottle with you or any other beverage container as it can get very hot and tiring as you progress through the trail. Bring sunscreen as well as there is little to no shade through the hike. It can get very hot when the sun is fully up. I would also bring a small towel to wipe way sweat. Another note is to walk with running shoes as walking with sandles or other non-athletic footwear can make the walk far more difficult. A note is that restrooms are at the bottom located near the parking lot so I suggest using it before starting as it would be inconvenient to feel the need to go during the hike. The summit at the end of the trail has a lot of great views that are worthy of numerous pictures and selfies. There are a good amount of areas at the end to take pictures in. There is also a strong breeze at the top which is something to look foward to. I can assure the effort to walk up this trail will be worth it. Another note, there is a small section where the road tracks have no ground underneath. For first time users, I highly suggest taking the presented alternate path that is less risky and goes around that area. I would make this a requirement to parents/guardians bringing your children to this hike. Overall, I love to go on this hike and it really makes you work to get to the top. Good for cardio and enjoying the beautiful landscape!!! Lastly, I suggest to go eat somewhere after finishing the hike. Helps to restore some energy.
