Don't be bummed about foggy days though. Begin just east of the parking lot and hike counterclockwise around the peak. The first part of the trail is paved and fairly smooth, navigable by strollers or wheelchairs. As you continue east and then north, the path gets a bit rougher, and there are portions that are difficult for strollers or wheelchairs.
Views are exceptional looking off to the northeast.
A few benches along the way make it possible to sit and contemplate. The last one-third of the trail can get quite bumpy, and neither strollers nor wheelchairs are recommended. For those who want even better views, take the sharp upward left turn just before returning to the parking lot. This will take you up the short but steep Plankwalk Trail, which leads to the summit of East Peak. Leashed dogs are allowed only on the paved parts of the Verna Dunshee Trail, not on the Plankwalk.
