On our way up, the girls were talking to Grandma about doing a night hike again. (As part of Camp Grandma, they did a night hike up by the Y). They loved the stars, the moon, Harry’s shoes that blink. Plus I think they enjoy the cooler temperature.
I said, “This hike is a pretty popular night hike.”
Ivy said, “This is NOT a night hike. Night hikes are at night. When it is dark.”
I’m pretty sure there was a bit of a “Duh” that followed that sentence.

On our way down from our hike we passed many people headed up for an evening at the hot springs. I was surprised at the amount of alcohol that was being carried up the mountain. I felt sorry for the few families we passed that were heading up for some fun family time.
The hike was a little over 5 miles, with only a slight incline. All four of the kids had an easy time. It was a little long and they each took a few breaks here and there. Fortunately there was a great spot for a break right after a bridge (about 3/4th's of the way through the hike).
It is definitely a hike worth doing for anyone in the area. In fact, it is even worth a bit of a drive.
