Nice trail, also for children from around 6-7 year old. Despite recording stats, the hike took us longer, approx 1.5 hour. Best to take the short trail to the top of Mount Jo, and descend along the longer trail. Nice in the afternoon, ending with a swim in the Heart Lake. Parking space available at the start of the hike.

You can reach the summit via the Short Trail or Long Trail. We recommend taking the short trail up - there are a lot of rocks to climb here.
