The total distance is three miles and the hike takes over an hour to complete. I always go clockwise as I like to get the hard stuff over first. It is a circular hike with the right side being steeper and shorter and the left side being longer and less steep. There is an additional hike at the top which takes an additional thirty minutes. If you have time and the hike has not worn you out I would very much recommend the top portion. It is a go up and come down the same trail hike. In the summer it can be very hot and I have seen rattlesnakes up there so just be cautious. Water is a must on this hike, especially in the hot weather.
