“BEAUTIFUL”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 24, 2012

Very nice hike that is moderate to difficult; the FALLS at the top are amazing....pack lots of water, and take a lunch...you will want to spend time up there. The picture taking is great too!!!

“Missed named, as there were no horse thieves, lol”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed June 3, 2012

But a fun trail to hike anyway. Our horses have theft insurance, so it wasn't a problem for us. I think the horse stealing occurs more in the summer, anyway.
