Look down  to observe the tiny wonders of the forest such as moss  and mushrooms and look up to see large rock formations and boulders as big as a car. Listen to the relaxing sounds  of the Galbraith Gap Run flowing alongside the trail.  Visitors can expect to learn about the geologic history and ecological significance of our ridge and valley region during a guided adventure.
