The upper trail is a picturesque path that is a little more challenging than some other trails in the park with some steep areas, but nothing too strenuous. If you're doing this hike in the summer, the upper trail has no shade, so bring plenty of water and keep an eye out for ticks. The views along the trail are beautiful, making it an ideal spot to capture some great photos anywhere on the route. Dogs are allowed off-leash, so you can let your pup roam as long as they respond to your voice commands.
