About This Trail

Imported description

During the Open days, this trail is only open. For more information about volunteering, volunteer attend, event planning, andopportunities, go to the Preserve's website. It says that if you put the right on the hill you will be in perfect shape. On your path to the summit, you should take the Crest Trail and go back to the PA. I was going a bit too far past some rock ledges. The summit has good views. There is a quotation stating that, going down isn't so bad. Explanation: There are no rock ledges or scrambling. It's just a few degrees steep.
