Description
This short trail features mostly easy terrain with some creek crossings with rocks and roots. There are educational stops along the way, and lots of benches where you can sit, relax, and take in the scenery. You can also connect to the 5 mile Cherokee Trail in both directions (using the orange Connecting Trail) but hiking to the right is quicker. You can then turn left onto the Cherokee Trail to connect to the Walk-Up Trail.
