One year later: I did the trail counter-clockwise today ... either way is equally fine. Make your choice based on 1)season, 2)time-of-day, or 3)parking lot. Don’t miss the Grandmother Rock ... way cool to see and imagine.

MarcyB provides great information about trails. She gives pertinent information and lays out what to expect. This trail is a very nice trail, not too hard, not too easy, just right.
