Here in June with our wine & cheese to toast the beautiful views. While I have walked up in the past, it's so much easier to drive to the top!

The gravel road is drivable for higher axle vehicles (not sedans), however there are washed out places that have not been treated in a while. The hike is a relatively moderate short mile. The view at the top is impressive and would be great with the fall colors. Check it out!

We drove up to the parking at the top of the mountain and enjoyed the gorgeous view from both Sunset Rock and Sunrise Rock. We will be going back at sunrise and sunset. There is a park bench on Sunset Rock with a view of Highlands.

The sign at the trail head indicates 0:3 mile to the rocks when actually it is 0:65 mile. Worth the walk regardless. Beautiful view.
