It was a very quiet trail. At the beginning of this hiking, we didn't see any people there. Seriously, I asked my husband what we would do if we encountered a mountain lion. (Later, we saw few hikers there.)

There are some picnic benches you can sit and relax. You can enjoy beautiful views of canyon and Aliso Beach located in Laguna Beach.

Then, we went down the narrow steeply downhill. It was short but really challenging for us, so you'd better to wear reliable hiking shoes or sneakers in order not to slip.
