Excellent time hiking with my wife and two grown boys and future daughter in-law. Easy hike, beautiful trail with several great views along the way. Great views at top also. Went earlier in the morning, were the only ones on top for at least 30 minutes. Trail was very busy on way down. Many people hiking up.

We took the ride up the mountain on the chair lift to check out the fall colors. The wait time was acceptable being a Saturday, around 40 to 45 minutes. The ticket price was reasonable and the leaf colors were at peak.
