The Living Room

The trail itself is fairly steep, but it is a hike that can be done easily with kids. It gains about 8-900 feet in elevation over its mile-long distance. The trail also acts as water drainage during a storm, so there are spots along the trail, especially near the beginning, that are narrow and have steep V-shaped ruts that the water has carved out. The trail is fairly rocky overall, so be mindful of rolled ankles. There are several other hiking and nature trails in the area, so be sure you're on the right one! There is basically zero shade cover here, so hiking this trail in summer months can be a brutal exercise in heat endurance. Make sure to bring plenty of water. The best time of year to do this hike is in the fall when the leaves start turning.
