About This Trail
The parking fee is $10 Dogs are not allowed on the trails, but are allowed anywhere else. The trail is uphill until you reach the Lookout Tower. The tower contains a picnic area, an observation deck, and a restroom. The trail heads downhill on the other side of the tower. It is warned that what goes down must eventually come up. The trail ends at a road. You will see Adams Trail across the road. The alternative to the grade road would be to take the road from the lookout tower. This would cut out a large part of the trail and make it easier to walk back.
