Running an easy 2.3 miles long, this trail has a fair bit of elevation gain to climb, but it’s worthwhile to see the rock formations that make up the trail and the scenery here.

The hike leads you to Lost City, an area with beautiful rock walls as if this were a castle long ago.

In the fall especially, colors explode across the landscape of leaves. From up here, enjoying the view is as easy as taking the trail the way it’s marked. It’s simply breathtaking up here!

If you’re extra adventurous and want something more than a short hike, the area is also popular for rock climbing and cave exploring if you have the equipment. Just watch out for local fauna!

This trail does allow leashed dogs, and is open year-round, but the best views are found from April through November. Happy hiking!
