If you drive up to the peak, the last quarter mile to the watch tower is rocky, so wear good shoes . Hikes from the fire house take about 2 hours or so.

Get to the parking lot and then hike for a bit and you'll be able to see the entire city . Also there is a cute chipmunk up there n____n

Great views ! Some paved paths, some rocky steep paths. Great spot to have lunch and a hike . Flush toilets too! 😀
