This hike is not for everyone.I'm 60 in great shape and had no problem.But I would say some people would have a tough time with this hike.The views are amazing when you get to the top.

Very nice trail that starts in a neighborhood community. The hike up took longer than I thought it would take, and there were several spots closer to the end of the trail where it was difficult to hike, but the view at the top is incredible! wear some good hiking shoes, b/c there were some parts that were slippery due...

This is a terrific hike. It takes us 55 minutes up and 40 minutes down. We are in our mid-70's.

At the summit you have the... More

I would not recommend this for really young kids under 7 unless experienced in hiking. Not for elderly unless fit. It is absolutely... More

The Mariner's Trail is a challenging hike climb for folks 60+ like us! While certainly not crowded, we did see visitors along the way, so we felt safe. We'd recommend that you leave plenty of time to enjoy all of the foliage and views. We stopped often as the vistas were remarkable. There are many places along the trail that... More
