Need to Know

Be careful with small children and pets on the sections of trail near the edges of the bluff.

Description

The trail starts from the parking lot and follows a creek up the hill until the trail switchbacks and passes through an old stone wall built by prehistoric people. The pile of rocks spanning the narrow ridge is impressive. Once through the wall, the trail loops around bluff at the end of the ridge. Sections of the trail are precariously close to the edge of the bluffs. Once back to the rock wall, return to the parking lot the same way you came.
