Reviewed by Spellman on 9/25/2009 Devil's Kitchen was a great hike, this 1-1/2 mile hike offers great opportunities for pictures along the bluffs, ledges and cave. A little strenuous as you start upward, but very enjoyable. 
Reviewed by amanda on 9/11/2009 This is a good hike for kids, though the climb uphill is steep. There is a small wet cave with a pool where you may be able to find grotto salamanders. There are some amazing rock formations and plant life.
Reviewed by ronnie on 5/12/2009 devils kitchen trail should be listed as strenious it is a hard hike to the top of the hill even though it is only a mile an a half. but very nice scenery to see an a few caves to an once you make it to the top you can take the rest in easy cause most of it is down hill after that.
