Location Details
The trail begins at the parking lot and heads east toward the running barn. Turn left at the barn and head north following the mowed path. At the wood line, you start to see orange trail markers. Follow the trail to the top of the ridge. Some sections of the trail are rather steep, but the view from the top is worth the climb. This trail stops at the ridge so you will follow the same trail back to the parking lot.
