Constructed in the fall of 2014, this new trail is sure to become very popular because it is 1.3 miles each way with little climbing to a spectacular view of the Ausable Valley and the surrounding mountains. This hike is definitely in the running for the best view for the least effort. The start is marked by a sign at the highway and with blue markers on the trail itself.
