7.4 miles of hiking • 1750' elevation gain •
We needed a hike close to home so we could get back for a family gathering. We went on this hike with two of our sons. The parking area was packed and the trail system full of hikers. I would have like to summit Hamilton Mt. but they weren't up to it, so we hiked the Hardy Creek trail to the picnic area, and then returned. Gorgeous sunny day and a fun time was had by all.
