Description
This winding trails starts off by the restaurant and follows along the creek, with a commanding view, before dropping off into the soft blue water and crossing. The water maintains a deep crystal blue tone nearly year round and has a continuous flow. The trail then works up a ridge line to the old property. There are markers with numbers along the route pointing out historic items of note.
