Remember when I mentioned the beginning of the hike is strange? Look for some bizarre trail decorations in the first few minutes of the hike.
Avoid side trails and heed the private property signs.
Here’s the start of the trail.
The beginning of the Araby Trail winds around residential areas, and then you start uphill and into the wilderness area.
The trail is pretty much all uphill, with a little downhill dip in the middle. The last half of the hike to the summit is steep but doable if you pace yourself and take breaks when you need them.
The parking lot is not that big. Get here early to beat the heat and the crowds. The trailhead is a short walk up the road.
