                    This is a great place to take a family.  We have 4 kids between 10 and 5 years.  Its hard to find a good hike that is easy enough for the young-uns, and interesting enough for the adults.
This hike was not trivially easy, but it wasn't a forced march either.  The fact that you can see the top the whole way up turns out to be a great motivation to keep going.  
The views are spectacular.  The rock is granite in its natural form.  Since we homeschool, it was a great geology lesson for the kids.  Its beautiful rock.  
This is the wrong place to go to get alone though.  Its very heavily traveled.
