About This Trail

Winding through one of Kisatchie’s most geologically interesting areas, this trail showcases weathered sandstone formations, small caves, and dramatic ravines carved over millennia. Spring brings an abundance of wildflowers including trillium and wild orchids, while the varied terrain of gentle slopes and rocky outcrops provides an engaging moderate hike. The trail is especially photogenic after rain when the sandstone colors deepen.
