Description
From the parking area we will descend the escarpment via the Devil's Pulpit and enter the Ring Kiln Side Trail to investigate the ruins of a Hoffman lime kiln. We will then hike down to the Forks of the Credit Rd., where we will follow the the Trimble Side Trail on the road beside the West Credit River to hike the circular Crow's Nest Side Trail before returning to the parking area. The short hike can return to the cars after exploring the Ring Kiln.
