The parking is strictly regulated. Access via the main entrance trail appears to be discouraged. Rockfall from the cliffs in this area could roll into the highway.

Description

Like all of Loudon Heights, this area is north facing. The cliff is around 30 feet high at most. It sits very close to the road, but not on the roadside, and is easy to access.

Getting There

Very short approach. There was a trail that entered the woods very close to this cliff. That trail was closed and access now requires a short bushwack/scramble to access the cliff base. The top of the cliff is easily accessible too.
