Itinerary description

A very pleasant short hike. It starts very easy and is such for the first 2/3 of the trail, the last 500ft is where the steep climb starts and you need to use your all fours. If only you are not scared of heights, it’s doable in your own pace.
I wasn’t prepared 100% and if only you can, I would highly recommend wearing proper boots to feel more secured when hiking slippery parts (because of loose gravel or snow) or those steep sections (specially going down).
Views from the top are spectacular and they’re worth the effort.
