Amazing hike! The views are absolutely incredible, and the wildflowers and trees were beautiful, although the summit was completely fogged over when we got there. It was a moderate hike, until the very end. The trail to the summit is steep and rocky, difficult for our whole group to get up, and then back down again. But we did it! Overall, a great hike!
Just an incredible hiking experience as long as you get early enough to find parking. The hike up to Saddle Mountain is steep but rewarding in good weather. If you plan on visiting, get there before 11:00 am to get a good parking spot.
June is a great time of year because of all the wildflowers, but parking isn't great (so get there early!) 80% of the hike is relatively easy... but it's that other 20% that reminds you this IS a mountain after all. Don't let that deter you though! Just wear good foot gear, pace yourself, and enjoy one of the best views of the coastal range.
Nice hike, great views. Even has a chop shop at the front if you need car parts!
