The north end is the more scenic, with several overlooks which give panoramic views of the valley below. At the north end of the trail, are some unusual pockmarked rocks known locally as Hominy Mortar. Legend held they were rocks used by Native Americans to grind corn, but experts discount this story and believe the pockmarks to be natural.
The southern section of the trail offers a quiet walk along a wooded ridge-top.
This trail may eventually tie into the Knobstone Trail.
A day use parking area is located in the center of the two trail sections. Do not camp at the trailhead, however camping is permitted in back-country areas. Pack out your trash.
