Take the immediate route up from the Lot in little used trails that have a steep ascent. The first part of this hike will be challenging and a good cardio workout. We will reach the roads and take a balanced walk/hike from there to Amir's Garden. We will not be taking the steps which many people are used to. We will be going an entirely different route.

This will not be a beginner hike....this is Intermediate level. We will be climbing steep terrain in the beginning of the hike. Not good for beginners.
