We took the dogs to play in the snow, pretty packed and a little difficult to find parking but the views and overall experience was worth it.

A beautiful hiking loop on the shorter side for when you want to have the experience of a hike but don't have the time or energy to commit to something longer. It has a good variation of flatter sections and some hills, along with beautiful views. I also love the information posts that correspond to the little pamphlet you can pick up at the trailhead for fun little insights and facts as you go along.
