A little short, but breathtaking views for sure! If you pay close attention there are some picnic tables up a hill to sit down and enjoy the view with a snack.

I walked 30 min carrying a 18 months and my 5 year old. It was a very fast rewarding trail in the morning and afternoon. After 10 minutes you already have a espetacular view of the valley.

Beautiful part of the PCT. We just hiked a short distance from the campground. Great views and this section is relatively level.

I love this trail... The beginnings smells like a ton of honey and is a very satisfying walk. There is lots of cool places to stop and look around or take pictures.
