Description

Along this trail, hikers will experience lots of exposed granite mixed with pine. The trail alternates between traveling over a wide doubletrack surface and the rock, meaning that you'll want to keep an eye on your feet. Along the way, there are small meadows, which make for great places to see some wildlife.

Flora & Fauna

You may see moose or elk in the open meadows.
