Difficulty: 2point5stars  Solitude: halfstar
Miles Hiked: 0.60 Mile  Elapsed Time: N/A

Comments: As usual, there was a crowd at the top, so don't expect any solitude here. The farther from the lookout pavilion you go, the more the crowd thins out. The trail here is short, but can be very steep in places. Watch your step!
