Description

This trail is a fun climb (or descent) that makes for a good out-and-back run. Near the beginning are some ruins of a chimney and presumably the remains of a building of some kind. You follow the trail uphill through the woods, crossing numerous small creeks, and passing one fair-sized waterfall (at least in the fall when I was there). You'll also find plenty of nature such as deer and birds, and the trail is varied with areas of rocks and roots interspersing packed dirt.
