Need to Know

Blackfoot River Brewing is nearby and a great place to grab a beer and sit outside.

Description

This is one of the more common paths to the peak and is quite frequented. Coming down there are multiple paths you can take.

The path starts at the parking lot where you can pick up and check out the park map. There's a rock climbing area about half ways up near a cave called "devil's kitchen".

The path is a pretty consistent incline that winds around the mountain, mostly dirt with some rocks and a super short rock scramble at the top. There's a false summit with decent views and a cell tower.
