Great easy nature walk. We spent an hour on this hike including time for stops at the viewpoint. As folks have mentioned, the trail starts close to a busy road and you can hear traffic for the first half mile. After you get deeper into the hike, it fades substantially. The incline is very mild for seasoned hikers. We saw several children and families on the trail. The viewpoint shows a peekaboo view of lake arrowhead. The VFW memorial at the end of the trail is beautiful and worth a visit.
