Sightseeing
Favourite Hike. I usually pair this with a hike to the top where I stop for a snack. And/or visiting the Kimberly General Store before or after for some local food. The parking spot for getting a good uphill climb in is marked by a blue gate on the left hand side of the road when you pass the Kimberly General Store. Easy to miss but if you adhere to the speed limit you should find it well enough:)
