Enjoy the view, then scamper up the ridgeline and turn left to visit Lookout Point, Jeffrey's homestead remants, the East Overlook, then double back to visit Scout Troop 36 point, and Devils Overlook before returning to Mossy Gap and completing the loop through the fields and along the road back to the parking area.https://jeffreyscliffs.org/
