A short hike up to the summit and then down a spur trail will reveal spectacular views of the Wild River Valley. Hikers can continue from the summit down to the southern trailhead, which requires a .8 mile walk along the road to complete a 1.2 mile loop, or retrace the same path directly back to the northern lot.
