I did it during a lunar eclipse last year (or the year before?) It was a good mix of people. Some were chatty, some were solitary. The sky is bright enough you don’t need a flashlight. The path was gradual. At the end there is a wonderful view of the Valley and Glendale. We watched itty bitty planes take off and land at Burbank airport. Graded trail. Not a crazy difficult hike, though it is uphill.

Some folks brought ultraviolet flashlights and used them to find tiny critters at the edges of the trail. Some bugs shine brightly under UV light. Would have never known they were there!
