My family and I are just getting into the hiking scene, now that our son is old enough to walk most of the time and a stroller is no longer absolutely necessary. This isn’t a very hard hike to find, but the turn into the parking is easily missed, the driveway into the hike entrance seems to be much smaller than the driveways of the houses nearby. LOL. There is a sign, you just have to pay attention, that’s all. There isn’t a huge amount of parking; I think there is enough for about eight cars. The hike is really dog friendly. My Vivian loved it. It was mostly in the shade, which is another plus. It is marked really well, so it is rather hard to get lost. My four year old son was our navigator, just to give you some perspective. You just have to follow the yellow dots, and if there is a possibility of confusion, then there is an arrow in the circle as well as a sign informing you where you are. There are informational signs scattered throughout, which I really liked, of various plants and animals. This mountain is well maintained, so please keep it that way. It’s about a two mile hike and not hard at all. All I have to say is bring bug spray because we literally were eaten alive; I know not use organic stuff and go with some strong stuff next time. Would I come again? Totally! Loved this hike! Kid and dog friendly is a total score for us.
