Gorgeous! Come prepared to hike! Water, snacks, charged phone, camera, the right shoes, and sunblock! Compass and map not a bad idea either. This place is beautiful to take the family for nature hike or for a date! To go meditate! To just relax in nature! You do need to be able to hike! You'll want good shoes on! Tons of trails. Great place for a picnic!

Nice park with lots of trails to choose from. The trails are well marked and very well maintained. Bring water and snacks for your hike. Please stop by the visitor center to get a map. Highly recommended.
