Best hike ever great place to fish on 14 miles creek. There's alot of things that people don't see because they don't look through nature. Check it out

A nice hike. A good way to spend an afternoon. My wife and I did not have any problems with the trail however we both enjoy fairly good health. It is steep coming out! Try to pick a day with good weather so you can take your time coming back up the steep trail. There are a couple benches along the way but you can always just stop and stand still to rest up. Take a water bottle and have fun trying to imagine how it used to be.
