Hiking only. This is a Class II Natural Area, so only hiking, photography, and wildlife observation are allowed.

Description

Beautiful wildlife abounds throughout this area. 200 foot climbs get the heart pumping, but quickly subside once you gain the ridge. A few spots along this ascent will challenge novice hikers, but otherwise, it's just a beautiful climb to gain the ridge.
