There seem to be a lot of options on this mountain. Many different uses include hike, bike, motorbike. We parked in the west neighborhood for the well marked trailhead. We took a pretty steep path...a hiking pole or 2 will help on the way down. Sweeping views of the valley below.

It was well groomed. I would recommend better signage, it is easy to get on other nearby trails.
