Like others have said, this is a great hike with nice views, particularly the first couple of miles. The only thing I have to add is to make sure to wear proper footwear. I didn't have boots but wish I had with all the rocks. There are sections where it seems like you go for 20 minutes without touching dirt.

We enjoyed this hike a lot. I would note that there were three good campsites on the way up according to the directions. They are located just before the turn-off from the orange/yellow blazed trail to the white blazed trail. We stayed in the 2nd campsite. The third might have been just a little nicer. There are a lot of rocks along the trail. I wish that I had had my walking stick. We spent 2 hours getting to the campsite and then 3 more hours to finish the hike. We're not quick hikers, but we enjoyed the scenery. Another exciting find for us was several fresh piles of bear scat!

I wouldn't recommend this hike to anyone. I didn't like it very much for simple fact that it was too rocky. Hiking on a path of rocks ranging in size from baseballs to cinderblocks for miles on end is just not very enjoyable. Also, although I never left the path I still managed to pick up over a hundred deer ticks...so be sure to check yourself afterwards.

great hike, had perfect weather for it today. about 60 degrees, sunny, not a cloud in the sky. saw more than a dozen people out there (as well as about six mountain bikers) so it's definitely known. no leaves on the trees yet, so really good views most of the time, especially on meneka peak itself (almost 360!) as others have said, very rocky trail at times, but nothing extreme.
all the directions for this hike are accurate and easily followed, all turns are signed. recommended!

This hike is not for the faint of heart, but the views approaching and at Buzzard Rock are awesome. Start this hike early in the day; we were keeping a quick pace with our Weimeraner puppy pulling us along, and it took us the full 4 hours. Also, a lot of the trail is rocky, and several sections are narrow; make sure to keep your head up and look around as you hike! The first half of the hike has great views at more than Buzzard Rock. All in all, a great hike, but definately meant for the intermediate to advanced hiker crowd.
