Starting at the trailhead, you will first come across a parking area located right at the beginning of the route.

Near the end of the route, at 2.04 kilometers, you will find another peak that is slightly off the trail. While not directly on the trail, it's worth the short detour for the incredible views it offers.

As you make your way back along the out-and-back route, it is important to stay hydrated and carry enough water for the duration of the hike. Additionally, checking the weather forecast before embarking on this adventure is recommended to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
