The route rises from about 558 feet to a high point of 755 feet, with a total elevation gain of 634 feet. It is rated easy, and the climb is spread across the middle of the route rather than concentrated in one stretch. Summer is the most comfortable time to go.

A fee is charged for the hike, and the trail is not open to bikes or horses. The trip takes about an hour, and the trailhead sits within the park's network of interconnected routes. Parkman Mountain Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and Sargent Northwest Trail is 0.2 mile off. Bald Peak Trail and Sargent East Cliffs Trail are both within a mile.
