Nice easy hike. 20 mins. The glen has a windy trail that you need to scuttle through but is nice and cool on a hot day and very pretty in winter. Once you cross the suspension bridge, cross over the railroad tracks and head up the trail. Stay right at the split. Usually people turn back at the end and return back the same way.
There is also a stroller/wheelchair accessible path along the river as an alternative.
