This easy-to-moderate hike takes you through hilly, wooded terrain with scenic views. A porta potty is available at the scenic overlook, accessible at both the beginning and end of the hike. We’ll take water breaks along the way to stay refreshed. We recommend wearing sunscreen, a hat, and bug spray for comfort and protection.
