Great hike. Very popular among hikers and mountain bikers. Dogs are allowed on the trail, you should definitely keep them on leash and close by, tons of people and bikers going down holl at high speeds. The further up you go on the trail the less people you'll run into. The elevation gain is gradual so it makes the hike a bit easier. The views are spectacular. Permit parking is required inside the neighborhood if you don't have permit you'll have to park on the main street (W Foothill Pkwy) and walk through a cemented path until you get to the hike. Like I said it is a popular hike and parking is limited. I did notice a couple handicap parking spots inside the neighborhood, I believe it was on Burrero way at the beginning of the actual trail. I would recommend wearing bug repellent there were a ton of bugs.

Tons of wildflower around. Down side overcrowded. I got there at 7am and parking wasn't too bad. By 9am when we were heading out it truly looked like a parking lot. Definitely get there early to avoid the crowds.
