    Rather steep ascent, but plenty of opportunities to stop along the way to permit other hikers to pass on the narrow trail. Views at the top are spectacular and you can see the entire valley to the West, (and East). Very heavily populated trail in tourist season.

    Very satisfying hike. Up a short trail to the foot of the rock and then a moderate climb up the rock. Great views on the way up. Minimal shade opportunities on the way up but the peak was cool and a great place to recharge for the descent.
