What people say
- People like:
- Impressive cedar, varied terrain and occasional valley views.
- Worth knowing:
- Numerous trip hazards, rocky footing and fallen trees to climb over.
An interesting trail with surprisingly good views across the valley, despite being surrounded by forest. Beware of the thousand and one places to trip and fall.
No much man made trail which I enjoyed. Trail's texture and obstocales was very fun. Parking is 3 hours long, Took us roughly 2.5 hours to go to the Cedar trail and back.
