Description
An enjoyable snowshoe along the white blazed trail through the upper
escarpment, descending to the Standing Rock Side Trail where the trail becomes more
challenging and quite the climb. An enjoyable view of Standing Rock in all its
magnificence, then up and over icy rock faces and through icy cracks and crevices.
Once at the top continue on to close the loop. Take the Franks Kiln Side Trail just before
you reach the end of the loop to view a restored lime kiln that was originally built circa
1860.Bring a snack or lunch and water.
