West Loop

The West Loop follows the creek, then turns slightly uphill to bring you across a field of Broom Sedge, a golden-hued native grass. The north end of this loop gives you a peek into a cedar glade, a hilly ecosystem that arose out of problematic erosion of the hill, likely in the mid-20th-century. As you hike alongside the woods, look out as far as you can see to the West to get a look at Wolf Gap's namesake hills and gap along the farthest hills on the horizon.
