Planning notes

💡

Start at Merrie Way for parking, restrooms, the visitor center, and the clearest family turnaround. The first segment reaches Mile Rock Overlook on an accessible surface; steps, grades, wind, and cliff exposure become more significant farther east.

Decide on Mile Rock Overlook or another turnaround before starting

Keep children close near cliff edges and rugged sections

Bring layers even when the rest of the city is warm

Use the visitor center and trail displays to confirm the day's route
