The trail is popular with hikers, horseback riders, and mountain bikers, so you never know who you'll meet on this moderately challenging trail.

Don't forget to bring bug spray too. It can get incredibly buggy along the picturesque path, especially during the warmer months.
It's the terrain along this trail, which wanders past fields of wildflowers in the warmer months, that makes it a challenge. The ground is often uneven, and there's an incline.

Be prepared for muddy conditions after it rains.
While hikers tend to agree that the trail poses some challenges, the stunning views along the way are well worth it. You'll likely cross paths with wildlife, including turtles on the ground and owls in the trees.

You might even spot a bald eagle.
