Description

This hike is for hardy hikers who enjoy the ups and downs of escarpment hiking.  We will ascend and descend the escarpment slope several times.  We begin with Graham's Hill Road (down and up!) and then proceed north along the East side of the valley, then traverse the valley via the Crossover Side Trail and return south on the West side of the valley.  Bring a lunch, plenty of water  and something to sit upon.
