Great Hike!
<p>Hiked this trail today with my husband and two children - &nbsp;five and eight years old, and it was perfect for us all. &nbsp;The hike description above is very accurate and the views are amazing. &nbsp;The handicapped accessible beginning of the trail is a nice leisurely start and maintains energy for later. &nbsp;The stone steps and boulders made this trail just challenging enough for my children to keep them excited but not too wearing. &nbsp;Loved all the viewpoints and amazing panoramic vistas. &nbsp;Make sure to bring a good camera!</p>
