About This Trail

Imported description
A walk through the woods is the first part of the hike. The weather is pretty snowy in the spring. The incline begins at the end of the wooded section. You can walk along the hill and see the valley below. The path will go for around a mile until it becomes rocky. You will get to the waterfall through another section of meadow and woods. The path uphill to the cave will be much more difficult after that. You'll need climbing gear if you go to the ice caves.
