I tackled this short trail after completing the South Loop of the Wilderness Trail. Fair warning to anyone attempting this trail, there are many elevation changes and more than one spot where you may slip off a cliff and end up in the
Meramec River or on the rocks below.
When you first enter the trail from picnic area 3 you are greeted with this grand view of the bluffs. I startled another deer here who must have been part mountain goat.
Along the trail there are a few of these structures that offer great views.
Watch your step along the trail as the
vegetation hides some slick rocks and sudden falls.
At a few points you will be down at river level, where it is swim at your own risk. I would suggest not swimming in this river.
Once you pass the dining lodge and some cabins the trail loops back through these woods.
