This was a really good hike we started from Hanna flat campground and hiked all the way to the peak it was about a good 6 mile hike, there was not much shade due to the fire. We also ran into 2 female deers on the way back

Nature is always as good as it gets, this trail is not the exception. Open from April to October, this trail is such a relaxing work out. The 3.5 miles uphill can be challenging for those who don’t indulge in hiking often. The views are good, the magical part is the fact you are one with nature(or so I like to think) for the majority of the journey(I spent up to 30 min hiking without seen a living soul). Remember to have the adventure pass displayed on your car, bring water, and be ready for a steep incline at the beginning(first 20 minutes) then more mellow yet still decent. Bring something to munch on when you get to the peak. Dog friendly, but keep them on a leash. Kids would like it but the fact that is more than 1 hour on an incline may make them cranky, still take them an see how far you can go. Stop by the Discovery Center a few miles away to get the adventure pass and a trail map. Lovely!

My experience on this trail was pretty awesome. I went midday in the beginning of the off-season(it closes for raptor habitat Dec 1) on a Monday before Thanksgiving. I was weary of tons of bikers and tourists, but I passed just three other folks the entire way. Additionally, I decided to run the trail so I could squeeze in more local sights later in the day. The sandy/gravel nature of this trail and clear cuts made by the bicycle traffic made it extremely user friendly to the trail runner. The distance was just right, the fall setting beautiful with ice, sun, clear views, falling oak leaves. The views are interesting in all directions if filtered at times by large trees. I imagine this trail can get pretty crowded, but I had it all to myself on a perfect day.

Started our hike at Hanna Frlat camp site. The map says the hike is nine miles. Round trip totals 13:5 miles, but you have to start at the camp ground. If you start at the camp ground there are no shaded areas so wear pleanty of sun screan and take a lot of water it gets burning hot up in the mountains
