Story:
This was our first "real" hike that my wife and I have gone on. This trail is about 5 miles round trip with 1200 feet of elevation gain, but it really wasn't that bad. Don't get me wrong, it was quite a workout but the views from the top and the things we saw along the way that we had never seen before were worth it!

Tips:
A lot of people complain about the bugs, but we didn't think they were that bad.
