This hike leads to the flag over Eastlake not the summit of my Miguel as that's closed now. Great easy/begginer hike. Parking is easy entrance is accessible. Difficult to stay on exact path as it is unclear in some areas. Hiked it with my three kids and two dogs.

It's not crowded at all. It is a really easy trail. Might want to consider proper shoes can be little slippery.

Peaceful hike along the side of the mountain which had lots of switch backs but you could easily walk straight up not realizing your not on the path but on a wash out. Your supposed to stay on the trail and not cut through but at times I found myself cutting through by accident. No shade except a little spot towards the beginning mostly shrubs the whole way. Very rocky, sandy loose path so wear good shoes which I’d recommend hiking boots. Not stroller friendly, take water especially if hiking during the daytime. No benches to sit and rest. My black pants and boots were very dusty so don’t wear something nice or something you don’t want to get dirty. Definitely don’t wear sandals! Saw birds, lizards and another hiker saw a rattlesnake. Took bout 2 hours but I take lots of pictures. Would not recommend for kids that aren’t use to hiking, elderly people or someone thats can tire easily. Also lots of mountain bikers and one came flying down the trail so be on the lookout as he did not seem to care if there was people on the trail.

Lots a friendly peeps on trail. Nice climb to the top. I used regular jogging shoes and did great.. even with a 30# backpack on my back. Views are nice all the way there. Awesome view from the top.

Questions & Answers

is it safe for amateur walkers?

It's more of a hike than a walk. Do not take your dog on a hot day, we learned that the hard way when his paws were burnt. It's uneven and rocky terrain, switchbacks, and very tall hills. It's not the worst, but it's definitely no beginner walk. Take lots of water if you go! Edit: Grammar

Can I use stroller here

Wouldn't recommend a stroller. The trail can get narrow at some points. There is a section with a few turns, and loose rocks. Definitely a great trail with nice views though.
