Where did the fairy doors go?
Great view and not a far drive compare to driving to my Maxwell. All paved road. It has a hiking trail but didn't have time to give it a try.
Steep trail, but the views are tremendous so the hike is it worth! Do it!
Lovely secluded trails. Vistas and fauna was spectacular and full of sweet subtleties
I need to be clear from the start: for the average person this is a hike, not a walk. We started from Collins Rd. The first part is steep and there are loose rocks. Wear proper shoes. The forest is gorgeous, so there are a variety of solid reasons to stop to catch your breath. Once we got into the park proper we took route 1. (The routes are well marked with red markers.) We only saw two faerie doors and did leave some small coinage. The view from the top is no doubt spectacular, but cloud/fog rolled about the time we arrived. A local couple who do the walk 3 times a week (there is a route off Juniper too), advised us to take route 2 down as it I gentler, though longer. We did and enjoyed it immensely. We took about 11/4 hours each way. At this time layers are essential along with water and an energy snack. Highly recommend.
