It is a short, low-effort outing, with an out-and-back trip of about 0.8 miles and an elevation gain of about 105 feet from the start, which sits at around 880 feet. The route has a modest climb and a steepest stretch of about 3% at roughly 0.3 miles in. The high point is about 884 feet, and the trail returns to nearly the same elevation at the end.
