The forest at the Kingfisher base is lush and green still in the fall. Cypress wetland offers lovely backdrops for family photos. It is an easy and very peaceful walk. Full review by DeBuskPhotography

I would definitely exercise caution when taking a child there. It is not dangerous but rather tricky and certain areas could be slippery. If the child isn’t very independent or still depends on you for guidance to walk, I’d say he/she is too young. Hope this helps!

I agree with the others. On the trail part of the West Summit trail, you'd be fine, but after marker 9 or so, you have to cross large boulders which are really slick when wet. You'd be better off hiking one of the other wonderful trails. The Rocky Valley/East Quarry trail will get you to a beautiful vista without having to traverse such slick boulders - definitely a safer choice. If you don't need a vista as your goal, then hike the base trail around the mountain.

Can you tell me approximately how long it took for you to hike the East and West Trails, and walk around the base trail? Thank you!
A:
2 to 2 1/2 hours depending on your pace. I would also allow 30 minutes at the top to chill and take in the views. As others said, go Up the east side.

In June/July/August the heat and humidity are pretty bad (although someone from Mumbai might not quail at this.) Make sure to carry water. I think Spring months are best (April, May) because of the wildflowers and generally more pleasant weather.
