Did the 5.3 mile hike with the family. The kiddos were tired around mile 4, but they made it! This is a semi-strenuous hike, as a lot of it is uphill. The views are fantastic once you reach the top. There is also an option to take the longer loop, which adds another 3 miles. Plenty of places to stop on the trail and have a snack or take a rest. We will be back!

Nice way to spend a morning, glad we went. We didn’t realize how long the loop was(8 miles), and that was too far for us. We don’t go hiking a lot, but have gone hiking in Maine. Obviously doesn’t compare to hiking in Maine but it was worthwhile. Some nice views of the Missouri. I was terrified of the snakes(they were small and we only saw 2). Mostly dirt trails. Lots of up and down.

Fantastic hiking trail! For days when you can’t commit several hours, this is a great option for a quick out and back hike because the trail is easy to follow and well-maintained. The pup and I only went in a mile or two and it was gorgeous. I can’t wait to hike the rest of it. Lots of shade, so this is a nice option for the hotter days of spring and summer.
