Description
This trail is in the west end of the park and circles the old quarry, with scenic views of it and the forests around. A few benches offer places to rest while taking in the views. Watching the sunrise from the east is especially beautiful from here! It has intersections with the Homestead Loop Trail, the Quarry Trail, and the Dynamite Trail.
