If you have a fear of heights, weak ankles or knees..... this is NOT the hike for you.....steep narrow rocky trail..... the higher up you go, the harder this trail gets.....NOT safe for young hikers....AMAZING PANORAMIC VIEWS AT TOP️
Nice simple trail, trail ratings are very opinionated, I will call it moderate to easy, no technical climbing but a nice enjoyable climb. The summit wasnt what I had hoped but its the Black Hills not the Rockies. Its a great trail for exercise and a nice walk I would recommend although there are other trails I think have better views, also not the worst view, just enjoy you accomplished a summit
Great hike beautiful in September with all the leaves changing color. The weather was perfect would not consider doing hike when its 90 degrees or hotter.
Very good hike. Great views. Well worth the work.Took us 4 hours total up and down.Im 50, overweight, not in good shape so it was difficult. But the dog was the weakest link, I was 2nd. It was mid 80s and sunny. We should have brought more water (1 quart each would have been adequate). And the little stream halfway saved the dog.Trail is well marked. Fairly gradual, but steady slope the whole way.I
A great hike if youre looking for something moderately strenuous, especially if you have an energetic dog. If you hike pretty quickly and are in good shape you will make it up in an hour and a half. The trail is mostly shaded so it doesnt get too hot and it does not have any difficult footing. There is one tiny trickle of a stream along the way (pictures here) which my dog loved on the hot summer day we were there. Bring a snack because you will be hungry by the time you reach the top. And dont forget water!
Great trail and views. Take water, 2-3 hours plus depending on fitness level...
Definitely not a place for anyone to go ever. Worst most strenuous hike. Stay away if you know whats good for you.
Would not recommend doing this hike if the high temperature is above 80.
Absolutely love this hike. Nice easy to follow trail and beautiful views. Nice way to relax on an afternoon stroll!!!!
Love this hike with a beautiful view
Best trail around Spearfish!
Simply awesome. Not too many people.
Difficult hike but worth the climb. Bring water.
Great hike. The peak is something like 5700 ft and its a 3.5 mile hike one way.
Beautiful Day For A Hike!!
