It was a nice 1.5 mile loop. There are only 3 spots for parking. The view was mostly obscured by leaves. Perhaps it would be better to do this hike when the leaves are down.

As your driving up the road it is best to go slow as the parking comes up on you quickly. My fiance found this place originally and we decided to give it a try. The main trail is a short loop with one scenic view that is ok. Overall I would say this is not the best of hikes but it does have one thing, privacy. There is normally no one else here and we had only run into one person while hiking on this trail. The view spot is setup so that you can sit and rest on some rock chairs but the trees need to be cut down a little more to make it a great view. On our last hike through we did comes across an offshoot trail with green markers. This one looks to be made for quads but is still hikable. There is a much better view of this trail. Be careful though as the tail markers are not always clear and not on both sides on the trees. I would not recommend this for someone that doesn't have a good sense of direction. We didn't complete the whole path so we are going to go back.

Great trail. We took the yellow diamond the long way up. Beautiful trees and rocks,well marked trails with the exception of 1 that had fallen down. Either way it's a loop so it's easy to navigate. Saw a few whitetailed deer too! Beautiful views and loved the rock sofa at the top!

Trail was well maintained. Scenic overlooks were slightly blocked by trees but still nice. Took us almost 2 hours to do this hike with the kids (which included a 15 min snack break!) Not an easy hike, there were several small areas scaling rocks, but we enjoyed it!

Questions & Answers

Is there parking? And is this a good place to hike in snow with our snowshoes ?

There is a small parking lot for maybe 3 cars.. However, It is rarely full. As far as hiking with snowshoes, it maybe a little difficult... The trail is pretty narrow and a little icy, but give it a go! If you don't have any luck, Camp Aya Po is right down the road and those trails are perfect for snowshoeing! Good luck.
