A recent review I've copied here: "Good, fairly short, hike! It is not too strenuous, but it's not completely flat either, so if you don't do small hills or uneven ground very well, you might want to skip. There are places where it is just rocks that could be a tripping hazard. However, for the avid hiker, this trail is beautiful, quick, and easy."
