Itinerary description

Nice hike at a historically significant state park. Rated moderate due to some strenuous sections, especially for us "flatlanders". Trail is well marked and well used, with several social trails. For the full effect, take your time and read the historic markers.

Shame that there is so much litter, but alas that is our society nowadays. It is hard for the staff to constantly pick it up.
