On a hot day, the uphill climb is rough, but the historical points of interest at the old hotel site were worth it! Pee before you leave home; no bathroom at trailhead.

Zachariah Cooney

Excellent hike that leads to inspiration point or mt Wilson bring water and snacks

Doris Neubauer

Easy trail (moderate if you're out of shape). Crowded on weekends.

Great trail with lots of history. Can get very crowded on weekends.

Nancy Chher

Awesome trail , but it was soooo hot today, a little tough on our Dobie since there is little shade.

Rick Mitchell

GREAT hike . Take your dog for a good home.

Continue past the hotel up the Loew Rail Trail . Hard to believe but even more spectacular views .

1 hour 20 mins to get to the top... 40 mins back down!
