The Overlook Trail doesn't have a ton of elevation gain, but it still follows along the ridge and offers three main lookout areas. The views are of the quarry and city's skyline and are some of the most popular viewpoints in the Ruffner Mountain Nature Preserve. There are a lot of intersecting trails in the trail system, but all the intersections are marked really well.
