There are lots of beautiful fern fossils and other tracks to look for along the trail. There are two small cliffs you have to navigate if you follow this portion of the trail. One of them is 15-20 feet tall and can be tricky to navigate. Being cautious and looking for animal tracks or water runs is a good way to progress. Aside from this the trail is quite doable.
