This trail starts out flat and grassy, but turns into a roller coaster with a huge climb at the end. Being an out and back, you'll turn right back around and get to descend that hill you just climbed. It is short and sweet just like Rocky Ledges.
Access Info
Best place to start is the parking area (next to the windmill) near the Big Pond camping area.
Traditionally Indigenous Territory
