Despite the Preserve's many positive aspects, there are notable deficiencies negatively impacting visitor satisfaction. The primary grievance among reviewers is the limited parking availability, which necessitates an early arrival to secure a spot and can potentially discourage visitation during peak hours. Moreover, the recent renovations have not adequately addressed the trails' signage, creating confusion and a sense of being 'off track' for some guests. This lack of clear trail markers has deterred visitors from fully exploring the range of paths available, ultimately limiting the Preserve's accessibility and enjoyment. The mention of 'smoky dense air' and visible pollution from the peaks, despite the serene environment, implies an undercurrent of concern for the surrounding urban environment.
