Description
This optional section of the Buzzardroost Rock Trail traverses an open prairie, passing a few running streams and a couple abandoned sheds. With the intermittent mixture of pine forests and open prairies, this trail felt like one in Colorado or Wyoming, not Southern Ohio. A very unique trail for the area.
