There's a lot of short, rocky, 8' climbs in just the first mile of trail. Be sure to wear proper hiking boots.
Lots of places for critters to live between all these big rocks!

This is a neat "hidden" area of the trail. The trail looks to go in front of the ledge of rocks, but you can go between a couple of rocks to get back in here. It's blazed to indicate it's trail, it's just easy to miss.
This is a really cool section of trail, there's about a quarter mile of big, overhanging rocks to explore.
More amazing boulders beside the trail
This is the first view of the lake and dam...probably can't see it in the summer time though.
The switchbacks in this section of the trail are quite steep and sadly straight up the fall line (eroding). I think the length of the switchbacks are limited by the adjacent property which is fenced off.
