This hike was a long journey. My fiancee and I decided to do a 30 minute and ended up on this trail. Not knowing our mistake, we decided to keep going "the end has to be right around the next corner." The view and overall fun of the trail keep us going far past what we should have. We were not prepared, no 10 essentials, and it got very dangerous. It gets pitch black at night on this trail. We could not see each other on the way out, nor could we see the ground very well. Take note to be cautious of the animals as well. We startled something large at dusk, not sure what it was, but it was big like a mountain lion or a bear. Everyone should make this hike!!!
Affraid of heights?

This climb is incredible, but there are times that the sheer drop off will make your gut feel the rush. Get there at 8am sharp, this allows you to be finished with the climb when the crowds come to join you. Park closes the gates when the parking is full, so be advised another reason to get there early. Do not forget your bug spray, there are annoying nats buzzing around.
