Rim Trail |

| The rim trail is
very different from the gorge trail, scenically and ecologically. Most of the rim trail is located high
above the creek bed. Views of flowing water, cliffs and rock
outcroppings are few and far between. Indeed, there are no significant
rock outcrops or ledges along the rim trail. You will be in shade most
of the way. Some portions are dominated by mature
hemlocks and oaks (as shown above).
Nevertheless, the rim trail offers a quiet walk in the woods, far from crowds of visitors and the screaming young folks frolicking in the creek below. We will begin our tour at the
base of the hill, near the visitor center and parking lot, and steadily
hike uphill, eventually reaching King Road |
