There are many, many trails that interconnect in this area, so you could easily spend a whole day adventuring if you wanted to.
This route sees light traffic, so expect to have a lot of it to yourself. While we rate it as moderate, keep in mind that there’s a longer uphill section that might be tough for very young children, and there’s not much shade, which can make hot days difficult. Bring water! Sturdy boots are also a good idea as parts of the trail are very rocky.
