This is a great hike to do if you don't have all day to get in those steps. Nice incline and a few spots when you can go a little off trail and take in the scenery. It's all paved and well maintained with some great history at the top! Just remember to bring a decent amount of water if you're going on a warm day.

Decided to do this trail on a whim, last Saturday morning. Definitely wasn't expecting such an incline, but it was worth it once you reach the top. There were a lot of people on the trail, but everyone was very polite and encouraging when passing. I only got to Echo Mountain, but plan on heading up to Inspiration Point soon!

I found this gem a few years ago and have loved coming back to it as often as I can. It gets pretty crowded during summer, but it's worth it if you visit at high tide or when it's high surf and can swim in the ocean water pool below the tower.
