Disclaimer: I rarely hike. Took around 2.5 hours round trip to/from the top (very shaded trail). Strenuous at times, but "easy" for a non-hiker like myself. Tip: bring a picnic/water for the top.
My sisters and I went on a random adventure yesterday and got the surprise of a lifetime. We struggled up that 2.3 mile hike but it was SO worth it! We started at 4:45 nd made it by 6. Loved it!!
