Overview

This trail is special and unique because it follows a high mountain ridgeline on the boundary of an untouched wilderness area with views from atop a 1500 ft. cliff face. You can expect soft delicate meadows, the trail winding narrowly through mature forests, tricky root systems, and rocky loose ledges. There is an element of danger involving the cliff that most of the trail follows but that just adds to the excitement when you think about what a mistake might involve. There are two other trails that connect so a full day of exploration can be expected if desired. (4W679 Clover Springs & 4W665 Sweet Home)
