Great little hike! Short, but entertaining with a rock scramble (be sure to wear shoes with good tread on them) and a beautiful, rewarding 360° view at the top. I recommend taking the scramble trail up and the Appalachian Trail down since the trail it's easier on the knees coming down. Of course, if you want to scramble as little as possible, you can take the AT both ways.
Come early or on a weekday during summer. And the stench of urine from the parking lot will make you gag.
Scramble is almost an understatement! But it was definitely a quick challenge with rewarding views. Nice short hike if you have time constraints but still want to get your blood flowing. Some of rocks were slick from high use so I'd recommend boots with good traction plus long pants since you have to slide down some parts. I went on Oct weekday before leaves peaked and parking lot was full but most hikers took the easier route. I can imagine it being backed up and people having to wait if it was crowded since there are very tight spots but it's a loop so you don't have to pass people.
Short trail with little adventure. Trail has sharp rocks, so be careful during rains
Intense high-grade hike with a great rock scramble. Bring a trail map, as there are several intersections to be mindful of.
