I took my girlfriend on this for her first hike. It was a bit challenging due to the initial uphill part, and we had to rest twice, but it was I think a good newbie hike. Very boring in winter with brown grass everywhere, but at the top the view is very nice.
This is a great Hike for viewing Californian Native Plants up close without having to venture too far off the path. Try this hike in all but the hottest parts of the year.
