Difficulty: 11 miles, 2300 feet. The scrambling routes are well-marked and class 3. If you've done much scrambling at all this won't be a challenge.

Preparation: None (just bring water). Note some sections of rock can be unexpectedly smooth, being worn down by hikers over the years.

Summary: A nice hike with good views. Plenty of rocks to climb up and chill out on. Fall colors make this extra nice. 4/5
