About This Trail

Imported description

It's a nice place to hike when you don't have a lot of time. On a clear day, the view is great. The hike is easy if you take the White Rock trail. The trail appears to follow the stream but it leads back to some small waterfalls. If you have time, it's worth a look, but the trail goes uphill at the sign. The trail goes up the mountain over some tree roots if you stand with it. The rhodedendrons are in bloom in May and June. If you go back to the parking area, you can make the hike a loop. This may not be the best place to hike alone for females. People are hanging around the picnic area.
