About This Trail

Imported description
It was a good hike to two beautiful views. A walk along the ridge ends at High Rock. The hike on the trails all the time. At the trail head on the north side of the road, you can start. The camp ground will be on your left after a little climb. Continue on until you see a sign telling you to go to the High Rock viewpoint. You should enjoy the views. It is some of the best around.
