As the sun rises join the National Park Service for walk to the summit of Overlook Ridge where you will enjoy the grand view above Devil’s Race Course Shoals, one of the most scenic sections of river. We will then take Cabin Creek Trail through a beautiful forest to Cabin Creek. We will travel along the west fork of cabin creek past beautiful rock outcrops and mesic forest returning to the Overlook Trail. We will look for wildflowers, ferns, and perhaps a salamander or two.
