About This Trail

Imported description

A short jaunt starts out easy then can get pretty steep at the end as you cross the ridge. It is true that a lot of big old trees are never seen before by a saw. A paraphrase: You travel through small villages to reach the ridge line. The first reward is a great view of three sisters from the southeast. They look like they could feel each other. It is to the north of Browder Ridge.
