About This Trail

Imported description

The trail has many waterfalls on the way that you can only see from the bottom. You will walk past the gate and follow the trail on the right once you reach the top. You will follow blue and orange markers until you get to the top, then you will follow yellow markers until you get back to blue and orange ones again. The steep incline for the last mile is technical and can be slippery because of the leaves and loose rocks. If you want to see the beautiful views but don't want to go the entire loop, you can travel counter clock wise up the trail.
