We had an eclectic group of friends from the ‘I’m just going to sit back and drink my cooler of beers’ to the adventurous type like myself and the hiking novices. This was a great spot for us overall (I guess I can’t speak for the guy drinking his beers because he would have been happy to do that back at the Vrbo). Those who were less adventurous were happy to hike a bit up then stay low, the rest of us kept an eye out on them (so they didn’t roll off the mountain) as we climbed our way up. Keep in mind there is a specific way to get to the very top, it took us a while to figure that out once we ran into more experienced hikers. I wish I had known that sooner because I would have liked to have made it up there. We were some of the first ones a bell rock since we wanted to catch the sunrise, but when we left for lunch there was a line of cars waiting to catch any parking spot. We told the guy who wanted our spot it would take us about 10 minutes before we drove off and he was happy to wait, so the parking lot gets FULL. Very happy with the hike, the trails and the level of difficulty to easy here. I would say wear shoes that have good grip because of the loose Sandy/rock- I slipped twice on my bum- but at the same time I ran into a guy wearing socks and puma slides and he made it up top before I did so... ¯\_(-_-)_/¯ …

The trail we took was approx 4 miles round trip. The path is easy with beauty at every turn. The trail is accessible from two parking lots ( one on southern end the other northern end) off of 179 N. The weather was perfect. The trail can be busy and one can ride a bike on the trail and dogs on leash are allowed.…
