    This hike is great for beginners, and the elderly. 2 miles in is not a long hike for anybody. Nice little day hike. No spectacular views but lots of great nature.

    The hike is signed as 2 miles but the trail continues further to about 3 miles. The trail conditions are excellent for the first 1.5 miles but obstacles (especially downed trees) make the trail increasingly difficult. As one approaches the NP boundary the obstacles are quite large but the trail remains easy to follow. The final descent / scramble to the creek is probably outside the park boundary. No benches. Great forest for hiking. No open viewpoints.
