About This Trail

Imported description

A stroll along a dirt road will have you admiring nice views. You will see a marker for the local Indian maiden near the way. When you get to the top there are a lot of viewpoints. The wooden platform is used by hanggliding enthusiasts. The wooden building on the summit was an observatory and a souvenier shop for the tourists who went to the top. A firetower and other towers are on the summit. You can also check the covered bridge and Minekill falls if you have time.
