Hiking

This is an easy hike of about 2 hours round trip. Recommended for ages 4 and up. At the top, beautiful vistas and sometimes free range cows! Picnic on one of the large boulders. There is a mountain path and a gravel road path if you need a less difficult climb.

One of our favorite trails. This is about an hour away, but worth it. This is an easy to moderate trail (some tricky steps and obstacles to climb over). Recommended for 4 and up. Bring water shoes! Take the upper trail for an easier time. Cross the stream to continue on to Little Bradley Falls (the upper trail otherwise dead-ends). Swim in the natural pool or enjoy a picnic!
