The parking for this is on the side of a road, but there are slots to park your car. I did this hike with a meet up group, and there was enough room for about 5 cars at least. We parked then walked up a road, till we hit the trail. From what I understand they used to take the road up to the top, but now there is an actual trail. The trail begins it is a very clear trail, very similar to squaw peak in its steepness but this is a single track trail. The top is bigger than i thought and you can sit down up top. The hike down, is easy..not a lot of scree if any that I recall Nicely packed trail. This hike is in 100% full sun! I would never do this hike after 6am in the summer!
