Leader: Ida Callahan

Join Ida Callahan for this short, moderately steep hike that will take you through a rocky, moss covered forest to an incredible view of nearby peaks. This is a short and sweet hike with a big payoff view on a clear day!

Finely crafted rock steps, switchbacks, and turnpikes are a testament to the work of WTA volunteers who created a trail that resists the heavy rainfall of the area. 0.75 miles into the trail there is a bench resting point, with a view of small waterfalls formed by the creek that tumbles down the side of the ridge.

On clear days, Baring Mountain stands to the east, and Philadelphia Mountain is directly across the valley. Just to the west of Philadelphia are Mount Index and Bridal Veil Falls.

Take in the view and appreciate the efforts of the Friends of Heybrook Ridge.  

Mileage: 2.6 miles roundtrip
