Comments: The trail started off from 80 stairways which was the hardest part (of course, rain made it even worse!!), but the rest of the trail was really nice walk along the river and little ups and downs. At the end of hike, sun came out and we had fairly nice view from the top of the mountain. Definitely recommended to go there when leafs turn red. Also huge rocks along the river (‹{μŽUτ˜Hjwere so dynamic and impressive. Please, bring your camera with you!
