Dependent on what trail you choose, the initial climb at the dam side entrance can be a challenge. Just come prepared for it and if you bring pets, please carry water. They definitely need to hydrate once up there.
Awesome views! We brought our 7 yr old and she did great.
This suburban hike has two uphill climbs, one before the views and one after. The first hill has a rise of about 400 ft in elevation. It is rocky in some places but very tolerable, the kids zipped right up it. The trail is well marked with blue blazes. We were here on a Saturday and it was not very busy but the parking area along the highway is limited so you had better get there early. The top of the first hill is where all the main views are. This part of the trail runs about a 1/2 mile and you will see an almost constant view of the valley as walk along steep cliffs. The rocky edge was the coolest part. The trail runs pretty close to the edge at times but in most places it was optional. The fear here of course is that if you are not paying attention, anybody will fall 80 feet to the rocky bottom, but while there is an element of danger I found it very manageable.
This is a good trail. Just be careful with the trees, a lot of leaners on this Trail.A little noise because you got the highway on your left but other than that, pretty good trail.
Nice area.. I live in town and didn't even know this place existed
