A great place to chill out but I don’t recommend going for hikes in the evening because of the temperature drop.

A beautiful dream place

Beautiful place, scenery, avoid traffic and too many people by visiting during off peak dates. Before summer or after is the best time along with great weather. Free entrance during certain holidays. Take comfortable tennis shoes or hiking boots. Bring warm clothes as it gets chilly as you drive up to the peak 8000ft and above.
