It is a bit counter-intuitive that the trailhead leads away from the parking lot and rest area seemingly back to the highway, but it does loop around and reaches the overlook via a nice gradual paved arc trail, then slowly climbs back to the rest area from the other side.

Hiking

This trail won't break any records for difficulty or distance, but it is a good warm up for longer hikes in the area or a nice leg stretching pit stop during a long car journey.
