Great hike, great views, good shuttle ride - So great, rewarding climb, beautiful views. Shuttle drive was easy and cost effective for a solo hike, and the timing was perfect.

It was a bit strenuous... - It was a bit strenuous getting there, but even though we are no longer young we made it. The views were amazing and we'll worth the climb. The tunnel can be a little claustrophobic, and there was a wait getting to the very top because of people taking pictures, but overall was a great activity. The tour bus operator was great!

Beautiful Views - We did a self tour which is all you need. Parking was $7 and I went straight to the park website and bought the entry tickets for a 2hr time frame. There are lookouts along the way to see beautiful views. The trail is paved for the beginning, then changing to a medium level railed path that was not slippery. To get up to the final peak there was 2 ways to go, one was straight up 99 stairs to begin and a longer path. But well worth the hike, especially if you had never been.

Worth it...challenging but doable. - It is challenging...take water. But I'm an almost 50 year old who rarely exercises and I was fine by taking a few breaks up.

Very nice tour, long up... - Very nice tour, long up hill climb but 2 hrs is enough to get up and down, even for a couple of 70+ year old. I would to have water for the hike not after, we ended up buying a bottle. Matthew did a good job driving and explaining about the area and what to expect on the hike
