A friend just told me he wants to hike up this mountain with me soon. How hard is it?

I took this incredible Tour! I did a round trip from Seattle to Paradise, which lasted around 3 hours, including the queue to enter the park. Even on a Monday, the park was very full, as it was summer. Check the weather conditions on the official website to try to adjust your visit on a day with good visibility, as it makes all the difference. In Paradise, there is a visitor center with a snack bar and gift shop (also with a long line), as well as informative maps with trails and their difficulty levels, models and staff to provide information. After eating, we decided to hit the trails. We did the Myrtle Falls trail with my in-laws, which was completely possible, as the trail is paved and short, despite being steep. The views are incredible and there are lots of flowers along the way.
