This hike take a minimum of 3 hours to fully enjoy, but you can do as little as you want. The real reward is when you reach the end, but at least try to get halfway to the picturesque meadow and pond surrounded by a shady forest. If interested, ask me how to shave of 1/2 mile and park for free. I know a secret shortcut...shhhh
