The route is an out-and-back of roughly 0.9 miles, with a total climb of about 75 feet from a low point of 124 feet to a high of 138 feet. The climb is steady, and the steepest stretch comes early, at about 3% grade. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from the nearby Kingston weather station show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 76°F, while July and August climb into the low 80s. Riverbed Boulder, a climbing area, sits just 0.2 miles away, and the Brooke Trail and J.B. Hudson trail are both within about half a mile. For fishing, Wood River is about 1.7 miles off.
