Good to know
This is the deliberate effort upper bound: NPS calls the climb steep even though the round trip is only one mile. The map identifies the route but does not publish surface composition, numeric grade, cross-slope, minimum width, steps, or every junction. Visitor-center hours, permitted events, filming, heat, fire restrictions, and current alerts can affect the outing.
