Great hike. Take a left at the telephone poles and head up the Black Rock road if you want a quicker, steeper challenge...it's a killer

Great views! Trail is well kept. Not too hard for a beginner.

Candy is a great hike for all ages and levels of experience. It starts off easy and then gains some elevation but not a ton. At just 1.7 miles it's a short hike that provides great views from the top. On the way up the trail splits. It doesn't matter which one you take as the meet up again a short while later. The left fork is not as steep but offers no view. The right fork is a touch steeper but the views are great.

Great simple hike, with nice views. Husband and I hiked this right as the sun was setting. Fun to watch the shadow of the mountain engulf the city below.

It was named after a single piece of almond Roca hidden at the peak in the rocks, that no adventurer dares to snack on

How long does this trail take? When is the best time for a beginner to hike this trail? Is there any steep inclines like Badger Mountain?

About 80 minutes. It's not as steep as Badger and the trail just winds up the side of the mountain. The trail starts off flat. 3.5 miles up and down. All day long is a good time for hiking.
