The yellow trail is by far the most gradual but is definitely the longest. I find the white trail the best way up. The black trail is very steep in places. Remember going down is always more dangerous than going up. BRING A MAP WITH YOU. You can download one for free. I would give yourself at least 3 hours for this hike. You should alot at least 2 liters of water per person especially on a day like today. Make sure you wear proper footwear, hard soles and something covering your toes. Avoid wearing cotton and wear dry weave clothing and synthetic socks. Cotton acts like a sponge, no beuno. Bring some high energy snacks. With that said my youngest son did this hike at age 6 so have fun and enjoy the day. Wildlife is in the area, i.e. bears, bobcat, coyotes, and timber rattlesnakes, so be aware but you shouldn't really run into them. They tend to know you are coming way before you notice them and move away.
Good spot for a beginner, still prepare and pack accordingly
Yes the trails in this park are not challenging. However keep an eye out on all the trail markings, especially the yellow trail. Occasionally they are harder to see than other colors. There are a few inclines that can be steep. Wear the proper foot gear and bring water.
Watch out for rattle snakes as well
