The first two miles are the toughest. You’ll climb about 1300 feet in two miles. After that, it’s a series of ups and downs that are relatively easy until you reach the summit.
There are bathrooms in the middle of the camping area.
When you get in, there’s a sign for hiker parking. The rest of the area is a campground.
From there, it’s about a 2-mile drive to the trailhead. Toward the end, the road turns to dirt but is okay for low-clearance vehicles. Just take it slow.
The attendant will be here during opening hours. They’ll need an ID and will record details about your vehicle.
When you enter the main area of the Reservation, stop at the sign, the ranger booth is on your right.
