There is only space for about two cars. There are a lot of bends in the road making it difficult to see. Bikers also frequent this road. Be very careful and I would not recommend parking further away and walking, as there is no shoulder on the road). Hours:Not posted Type: Hike (on-leash) Regulations: Dogs allowed on-leash.

This hike is a loop that we mapped at 0.6 miles round trip with 219 ft of elevation gain. We hiked it in about 30 minutes.
You can extend by taking trails up towards Old Saint Hilary's preserve. If you started on the trail to the right, when the trail splits right after you pass a bench, take the trail up to the right. If you take the trail to the left, it will take you back on the loop to where you started.
