About This Trail

The grass meadow and boulders are beautiful after the initial hike up the hill. It's a great spot for rock climbing. The trail is easy to follow. There are portions at the beginning that have a lot of loose rock, so you have to watch your footing, especially on the way back. There are no trail markers, but you have to take the right fork to get to the cave area. There are some great views along this hike.
