Cliffs and waterfalls and towering hemlocks line the trail. Huge rock
formations are never more than a stone's throw away and awesome
bridges will take your breath away.
Interesting things to look for:
Old Man's Cave was aptly named for an early
settler, Richard Rowe, who set up living quarters in one of the many
recess caves in the area after the Civil War. Killed by an accidental blast
of his own gun, it is said local native Indians buried him somewhere near
the entrance of the Cave. Take a guess where he is allegedly buried in one
of the recess caves of the park.
Devil's Bathtub-a churning tub of water spilling
into the creek below.
Waterfalls, waterfalls, waterfalls.
Cool cavern-like walkways.
Modern rock bridge
Sphinx Head-at the far end of the trail, a rock
formation taking the form of a sphinx head.
