Description

This trail is a little over 2 miles long and climbs steadily to the ridge, meeting up with the North Mountain Trail. Along this trail, you'll cross Laurel Run. You'll also pass two meadows and one pond. The trail is wooded for the most part, but offers some views in the winter and late fall.
