Boardwalk section near the bottom part of the trail. Pretty well maintained but some of the steps can be hard to see when running on the way down.

Description
This is a wonderful hike or trail run through various forest types. Starting from the parking lot visitors will hike through a damp and cool forest. After crossing the 1000 Road Loop Trail a climb through a dry hot area begins relief comes soon as you reenter a mature forest and continue under canopy cover to the top where you'll find a bench and a trail register. Though the name would suggest a beautiful vista, the end of the trail ends in a mature forest and trees block any views there may have once been. There is a short 0.1 mi side-trail from the top that does have some limited views of the nearby town, Eatoville.
