The switchbacks in this section of the trail are quite steep and sadly straight up the fall line (eroding). I think the length of the switchbacks are limited by the adjacent property which is fenced off.

Lots of places for critters to live between all these big rocks!
More amazing boulders beside the trail

More amazing boulders beside the trail
This is a really cool section of trail, there's about a quarter mile of big, overhanging rocks to explore.
The bridge is washed out. You can get across here, but there is also a go-around trail that takes you up to the road to get across this creek.
A really big sycamore tree at the trailhead
This is a neat "hidden" area of the trail. The trail looks to go in front of the ledge of rocks, but you can go between a couple of rocks to get back in here. It's blazed to indicate it's trail, it's just easy to miss.
All of the trails are very well marked with blazes along the way.
