This hike can be a bit challenging as it requires some rock climbing skills as well as a 6 foot deep chasm that you must leap over in order to complete this hike if you take the Maple Ridge Trail. It is also important to properly time this hike as it is a longer trail which may require an early start time. If you plan to do this hike later in the year, be sure to check weather conditions as the summit may be covered in snow. If caught in a snowstorm, visibility can become low, making it extremely difficult to navigate the trail. Winds at the peak can also become very strong, though bearable for most adults. There is also a small parking fee, so be sure to bring cash in order to pay. This trail can tend to be hard on the knees are there is lots of uneven ground, steep terrain, and scrambles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped
