As you begin the short half-mile trail hike from the trailhead, make sure to take one of the small brochures with numbered information highlights to read along the way, if they are available at the start. The trail is loose gravel but moderate and very gentle and can be walked by most people who can walk across the parking lot, without any particular shoes or equipment. Old or instable walkers might want to bring a hiking pole along, as the gravel can be loose or shifting underfoot.
