The Greenstone Trail features rock formations, stone steps, and informational signs. This is a really short trail loop, but it's worth hiking if you are already stopped at the overlook. The rocks you see along the trail are the same rocks formed from the ancient lava flows as the rock that formed the rocky outcrops in the area. This is a cool nature trail full of history and geology.
