It is very long and beautiful. It's a great way achieve miles when traveling through this area. The only thing to be aware of are flaws in the pavement from tree roots and years of shifting temperatures. They create 2inch bumps that blend in and can be a nasty surprise, if you're going fast.

Being so long, there are a few different trailheads and parks along the way that offer different parking options. Some spots on the trail have been weathered, so watch your step when you come to spots with roots underneath the trail.
