Nice place to hike and see the birds, and deer. Small pine trees dot the landscape at the parking lot and get denser as you move up the mountain. 500 ft elevation gain total. Rocky trails. Some sections of trail improved with gravel. Road runs by the trails that is for ranger use (no public cars). Lots of runners use this road for hill training. Used to be called rattle snake mountain, but have never seen one in my 15 years of going here.
