Description

This trail is an old logging trail that leads visitors up to a rock face that can be observed up close. Take your time exploring, especially as this area has many cave features.

The trail features steep uphills and treefall obstacles, making the route fairly strenuous. However, the top of this route has a view of the Loyalhanna Gorge that can not be matched.
