The parking leaves a lot to be desired, not much parking space at all. Other than that, it is a magnificent place to hike or even take a stroll. But if youre not used to "seeing the trails" (hikers eyes) due to them being covered with leaves, twigs, etc, you might wander off path. Totally worth the visit! I will be back!
