A short ridge trail with wooded switchbacks and a rocky overlook offering sweeping valley views — ideal for landscape, sunrise/sunset and seasonal foliage shots. Best light is during golden hour from the overlook; fall brings vivid color and winter can reveal raptors riding thermals. Trail is moderately easy, small parking area at the trailhead (no fee). Bring insect repellent in summer and microspikes in icy conditions. Weekday mornings are quiet.
