Every thing is really green an lively right now. It's also gorgeous in the fall when the leaves change colors. You just have to be careful of Rattle snakes.
Rattle Snake 101
Rattle snakes are more scared of you then you are of them. If they hear you coming they'll usually move off the trail.
They don't generally strike unless you harass them.Your pretty safe as long as you stick to the paved trail.
If you suffer a rattlesnake bite, seek medical attention as soon as possible. Remain calm and immobilize the wound, keeping it below heart level. Do not apply a tourniquet,(unless you can not get to a hospital, but if you do you could loose a limb) cut or suction the wound, and do not apply ice. 
The boys made Guns from sticks. Great imaginations!
They found lots of Rollie pollies.
At the top of the trail you get to see a gorgeous view of the Valley.
