     -has a river that is very scenic along trail
     -quality of trail varies, some is flat, some has a lot of roots, some has some rock/stepping, then the end is all rock and stepping and is steep.
     -the incline grade of the majority of the walk isnt bad, it is an incline but isnt too steep. The end of the trail (last half mile) gets steep though.
     -summit has a nice 360 degree view and the remnants of a foundation  of a building
     -majority of the walk is shaded, but summit just clears tree line so it has no trees or cover and is all sun.
