  • Beautiful views and the trails are well marked. Gets extremely crowded on weekends, but at least most of the trail is wide enough for everyone (so far).
  • The view is good and there are multiple trailheads. The degree of difficulty varies depending on the course, but even beginners can climb from the Makinoto trailhead. There are no chains or ropes, but it is slippery and there are falling rocks, so equipment and caution are required when climbing.
