Trail description
Start at the trailhead parking lot and go up the many steps. After about 30m you’ll pass a fence. From there it’s not much further to the crater. The whole way up should take about 45min.
Then you can either loop around the crater or climb down into the crater. The loop around the crater takes about 50min.
The trail is overgrown in some sections and also a little bit exposed. But nothing too difficult.
The trail to the middle of the crater was very overgrown and we didn’t attempt finding the little pond.
