What parents say

AI summary of 5 Google reviews — not a first-hand visit. How we write these

The way up is paved and the incline is mild, which reviewers call easy access. It is crowded on Sunday and much quieter early morning or at dusk. Free parking nearby. Little shade, so bring water. Some reviewers mention drink trucks near the bottom. Free to walk.

Paved 3.2-mile loop to a summit cross with big views, doable with older kids. Park free at Ryan Bonaminio Park, not the residential streets.

    If you start your hike from the inside of the park by the dog park it will be a struggle. It’s a hard climb to reach the pavement area. Instead try to locate where the pavement start which I never found. Other than that it’s a beautiful park and easy hike when you’re on the pavement.

    Came here for the first time and absolutely fell in love with the view I do recommend going in the morning to avoid the trail getting busy bring water and stop by one of the trucks for a healthy smoothie on the way up 👍
