It's not the most scenic walk but the path is wide and though not paved, mostly crunchy crushed shells under foot. The length was just about right and good views at the top of the hill. Best part are the goats at the bottom of the hill. Good, available bathrooms which you don't see that often on trails

A Service K-9 has Federal Jurisdiction, so yes. Unfortunately however, No according to prior posts for The "Family Pet Dog". Sad... some people only have their four-legged friends/family members as their sole source of companionship & the BEST TLC! Way better than humans any day!

How long is the walking path.

BILL Hinckley | Sep 7, 2022
*M* | Sep 7, 2022

It all depends which path is taken. There are 3 -4 different routes, the longest being about 2 - 2.7 miles in total. Then if you go around multiple times, it's exponential. Hope this helps.

What is the length 0f walking trail

Michael Chitaman | Oct 7, 2020
Amir Collazo | Oct 7, 2020

I don't know for sure but the winding trail to the top point is challenging for sure. I would say about 2 miles mostly uphill. It does have stairs to come down if it gets too much,but if you walk down it is a work out and a half. Not to mention beautiful views and sights.
