Hiking notes: Hiking club trail was actually closed, but we ended up hiking it anyway. The stone bridge was treacherous, and the trail was slippery. Despite that, it was a decent hike. Either way you go, you have to go up quite a long way, which means it's not probably something you want to do when it's really hot out.

Geocaching notes: At the final cache, we had to "pretend" to be tired and sit for awhile for a couple of large groups of hikers to pass by. Definitely will be back to do more hiking at this park.

Park comments: The fact that the trail was closed could have been made a little more clear. We weren't 100% sure which trail the sign was referring to. When we figured it out, it was too late (already across the bridge and were not going back). Despite trail conditions, the park was still busy. For such a popular park, I expected the trail quality to be better.
