Most of the trail is rocky and steep until lily lake. The lake is dry but still cooler due to elevation. Trail not for people with knee problems. Shade available in at least half of the way. Takes about 1.5hr for one way to lake and about 1hr down to lot. Parking is free but can be limited. people park on roadside.
