The trail forms a loop, and you can choose either direction to hike. Starting with a wide and tree-lined path, the trail leads you through rocky terrain and bluffs.

This area was once a thriving mining hub, with limestone extraction spanning from the 1850s to the Great Depression. A company town once stood where the Visitor’s Center is now located, and narrow gauge steam trains transported quarried limestone to massive kilns for conversion into lime.

You'll encounter remnants of this mining heritage as you explore the area, with the towering lime kiln near the Lime Kiln trailhead being a prominent feature. Constructed in 1856, it stands as a testament to the past.
