Description
This trail starts off of the Hop River State Park Trail and climbs up a rocky trail until it intersects with the Valley Falls Loop Trail (Blue/Yellow Trail). After passing the blue/yellow trail, this trail follows the cliffs and passes by a couple of nice viewpoints overlooking the valley below. The trail eventually loops back into the woods and then descends back down to the Hop River State Park Trail. Although this trail is not blazed, it is well traveled and easy to follow. The blue/yellow blazed Valley Falls Loop Trail can also be used as an alternate way to access this trail. The trail is managed by Vernon Parks and Recreation. Parking is available at Valley Falls Park.
