Description
The Secret Trail is a magical little hike which starts on a large bed of mossy rock with views into the treetops. The trail snakes through a few canyons and ridges before ending at the School House Pond Trail. Once on the School House Pond Trail, the climbing and descending ritual does continue for a time until you reach the road. Once crossing the road, the hike is fairly level and easy leading to the pond.
