Great hike! You can cheat and take a gravel road half way up or down. Its a steady hike with little flat spots. Little bit of sketchy climbing stuff but it was short and still felt safe overall.

Moderate to difficult hike. Be ready for the 30 minutes it takes on the trail or road to get to the Summit trail. Taking the first trail you see will loop you back to the road before the visitor bldg and bathroom. It takes approximately an hour to get to the West summit; probably another 15 minutes to get to the East summit. There are no easy parts of this trail, it's steep with rock steps and many rocks and roots along the way. There is some rock climbing involved. The trek is worth it though, once you reach the summit there are spectacular views! We heard loons calling from one of the ponds below while on the summit. Start out earlier in the day, it wouldn't be wise to be on the trail in darkness or rain.

nice hike--if you're in shape, which I am not. A bit too strenuous for me. Enjoyed my time there anyhow. If you get a chance to go, then go! You will not be disappointed!

Great place for beginner climbers and hikers to get to a beautiful vista. A 2-3 hour round trip hike. Make sure you take the time to get to the east peak for the best views. The visitors center is located at about half way up the climb. Nice overlook about 1/3 of the way up. At the visitor center there is the Fox trail that loops around to where they have a few animals in rehab. No dogs are allowed though so plan accordingly
