Park behind Target, and the trail is well marked. If you’re doing the loop, definitely GO CLOCKWISE, so that you’re going up the steepest part and down the more gradual part.Full review by 2018CDN

First time on this trail and it was definitely a workout. I went clockwise and felt like the incline up would never end. It was rough on my lungs and not so much my legs. Being afraid of heights adde…Full review by countrytime_11
It was suggested we hike up the right side trail as it would be the least difficult, but I just read a review that said " the right side is more narrow and difficult to navigate going down and so recommend doing the hike clockwise" ..are there multiply hikes or just one circular?

The total distance is three miles and the hike takes over an hour to complete. I always go clockwise as I like to get the hard stuff over first. It is a circular hike with the right side being steeper and shorter and the left side being longer and less steep. There is an additional hike at the top which takes an additional thirty minutes. If you have time and the hike has not worn you out I would very much recommend the top portion. It is a go up and come down the same trail hike. In the summer it can be very hot and I have seen rattlesnakes up there so just be cautious. Water is a must on this hike, especially in the hot weather.
