“A 6.5-mile roundtrip run to a scenic summit.”

— Darcy Diaz
GPX File — Driving Directions

Overview

Features: Fall Colors — River/Creek — Spring — Views
Dogs: Leashed

Description

This is a long, strenuous run that is beautiful the entire time. It takes anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 hours to reach the summit. Half of the trails are wonderfully marked out and are pretty solid ground - the other half will leave you breathless and scrambling to continue. It does feel magical to be above the birds though.
