For me this hike was a bit challenging, but we'll worth the effort. Just took my time to reach the top and enjoyed my lunch break. The views were spectacular! Bring water and hiking poles helped for the hike down which can be a bit rough on the knees.

Well worth doing. The last bit is very exposed and is best done before it gets too hot. Bring lots of water. It's worth stopping at Indian Springs for a rest on the way up.
