This is flat easy trail (not sure why the author marked it as moderate). When we were returning, we did the whole path in 1,5 hours. The trail is exposed, we did it in May, and regretted for not starting before 8 AM.
When you reach the hoodoos, I would recommend do not try to cut through the vegetation (as indicated in this trail), but just walk bit further circumventing the vegetation and the small canyon will open up.
Also, you can park your car and start just a bit further than indicated here - we parked where the trail splits from the Nipple Creek road, so crossing the Coyote Creek, which will likely be dry in the summer months.
Thanks to ceky for the trail!
