Hike Summary: | This trail offers great views of the gorge, as well as access to some of the best rock climbing in the eastern United States. The trail passes through rich forest, crosses Fern Creek, then zig-zags along the cliff edge. Many vistas can be seen along the trail; the overlook at Diamond Point provides a good turnaround spot, creating a popular two-mile out-and-back hike from the Fern Creek parking area. Continue the loop and there will be (3) rock climbing stations which also provide excellent views. Note: please use caution when near cliff edges! |
