Tough trail mostly bc the length of it. But very pretty and loved the desk ❤️ even was able to bring my 2 year old just wear long sleeves if you sun burn easy
Beautiful hike. Many loose rocks but the views are very worth the trek
Lots of little trails to hike! Really easy to get lost though, be sure to bring a GPS or your phone
Walked this trail with my girlfriend. We both loved it..
Beautiful.
Beautiful trek!
Great little walk to the desk. Must do in Alpine!!

2022-05-29Pretty good place to hike. Very rocky though with a lot of ankle turner rocks. Mountain bikes are allowed but not sure how they are getting up there. Trails are very rough on the climbs. But for hiking it was good.

2022-04-05It was a good hike, but the trails need to be clearly marked at the red sign. And the map is misleading. The route looks longer than it really is. The views are really beautiful at dawn.

2021-11-28Amazing trailhead! It’s uphill and rocky, but we had great views of the sunrise the whole way up to the desk! There are multiple trails, but we just took the main one up both mornings we went.

2021-10-12Many different hikes available and I encourage you to hike each one. we had a great time and the views are GREAT. Keep the antenna to your left if you want to find the desk. What an awesome backstory to the desk. The cross is a great trail as all of them are.

2020-12-07Its a bit of a really challenging hike. Not for the less fit folk like myself.. but the new girlfriend is trying to get me in shape so I did my best. Beautiful results at the top and was a good feeling to get there. Doable for the challenge for sure. Just be careful of the rocky terrain and be sure and take the map with you. Got ours at the local information center near the college.

2021-10-04From the trailhead take the trail that goes straight up the hill. It flattens off at the the second big rockpile. Youre almost there. Another 500 ft and youll see the bike tree then the desk of higher knowledge. Sign the notebook. Enjoy the view!
