Kakiat is a very close location and my go place when I need a hike and am short on time. I run a business networking group called the RBBN and took some member of our group on a hike, combining business and pleasure at the end of the work day.
We parked at the main parking area, crossed over the bridge and climbed to the first view on the Mountain Trail. We then continued ascending the upper view. After enjoying the view and taking a break, we then went down the Mountain Trail, taking the shortcut bypassing the lower view.
