Trails were marked but I forget how. I believe all signage was intact but there's a couple different paths heading off the summit in the general direction of Lakeview Trail. They all more or less led to the same place but I personally felt like signage could be improved here. I think the issue is that the sign or Lakeview Trail is not right at the summit but rather a short ways down to the north.
A lovely post-work hike with a friend and colleague...little did she know we were also redlining of course! We ascended Quarry Trail (longer and less steep) and descended Lakeview Trail whih is shorter and a bit steeper though switchbacks and is certainly nothing excessive. This is a nice, easy, family-friendly, good bang-for-your-buck hike! As far as I recall, the trails were quite dry and are easy to follow. Note that there have been some reroutes on Lakeview Trail so it does not quite match what Gaia looks like. |
