About This Trail

The trail starts after the visitor center. The trail winds up the hillside until you hit your first split. Either choice will bring you to the next point. If you head to the right, there will be a second split. The trail to the right leads to the parking area. One can see the balconies and pinnacles after doing the loop. The trail should take about 30 minutes.
