It was a fun hike, fairly simple. It starts off as a dirt path then turns into sand (if you regular shoes prepare to go home with sand socks), and then the last stretch is mostly climbing up rocks. Best to go early in the day to avoid too many people, I started around 7:30am which was perfect. The view at the end is great but nothing super extraordinary. Over all it was a good experience.

Fun, easy family hike. We take our 5 year old and puppy. There is some gentle scrambling to get up to the view spot, but nothing crazy. Interesting rocks and trail, good views and a short distance. There is a sandy wash, so be ready for that. We do this hike regularly since it is a short, family hike.
