Beginning at Lausmann State Park Picnic Area, this hike is a nice forested hike with an occasional view of the gorge from various outcroppings along the way.

In the spring this hike has many beautiful floral displays and small streams to enjoy. The summit is a bit disappointing in that it is located in dense forest with no view.

Be aware that this trail runs through an extraordinary amount of poison oak.
