3.0 mile loop; ~710 ft. elevation gain
Summit: 1,640 ft.
Route: Indian Monument Trail to summit; Squaw Peak Trail back
Review: This mountain provides tremendous views for little effort. It only takes 45 minutes to get to the top, even using the longest (Indian Monument) trail. It can easily be ascended without all the usual hiking gear. I fully recommend it for families, as kids will particularly enjoy scrambling on the ragged crest of rock atop the cliffs. Though it's hard to find a flat rock to sit and enjoy the views and a snack, it is possible. You can see both summits and do the whole trip in about an hour and a half. On some days, you see hawks soaring through the air near the cliffs.
