Not sure how accurate the posted trail mileage is to the peak, but according to my phone it was over two miles more round trip. The elevation climb is around 1,150 feet and some great views all around. This trail meets up with Castle Rock Trail and Sidewinder Trail, both of which tie into Beal Loop Trail and that can get you over to Monolith Gardens by going under the highway. So plenty of options. Bring plenty of water and sturdy shoes. You can only reach the parking area from North bound 93."
