Loved this trail. Do not skip it when in the area! The trail starts on the opposite side of the road from the parking. Don't hit the trail without looking at the map. The camp trail that has an overlook of the Buffalo river is on the same side of the road as the parking. The whole trail is actually a loop even where the line runs together. Just stay to your side then do the opposite side on the way back. I suggest doing this trail backwards. The trail is a loop and the shorter side of the trail that goes by the quarry is ALL hill so go down it when you first start instead of having a huge hill to claim up at the end. The trail end(where you want to start, is a little ways up the road in the curve right before you get to the parking lot, it's not marked) We spent about 3.5 hours hiking and checking out the sights. Lots of stuff along the trail such as sinkhole, waterfall, mine entrance, creek(just a dry bed when its not rainy season), natural bathtub, two caves and the final cave(Indian Rock house) has an under ground steam that surfaces inside the cave which is amazing. The water is freezing! There is also a cave part that goes further back to explore if you can climb up to it. Take a good flashlight. Pack lunch and chill here before you head back to civilization. Wear sturdy shoes. Lots of walking on rocks uphill and downhill. It was so hot in July, I wish I had gotten in the natural bathtub but didn't wear the right clothes for it. This trail was not super busy either so great for social distancing. I loved that we saw very few people- not like lost valley which is always packed. We only saw two couples coming out when we were going in and one family who we crossed paths with a couple times. That family had two children around 7 to 9 years old who made the hike. I wouldn't take children that young on this this trail though. Tween and older I would suggest unless your kids hike a lot already. Let them get in the creek when it's hot.

This isn't for everyone but I love stuff like this. There are 5 full structures remaining and then some parts of the mills on the walking tour about a quarter mile further down the road. Some good informational signs on the tour. Hard to imagine it was once such a large city,

What a great time! We stayed in cabin 6. The gas burning fireplace was so toasty on the cool nights. We ran out of gas and let them know one morning and they had it filled by the afternoon for us! They recommended floats for us and did a shuttle service for only $35, taking our vehicle to the end point. They drove it with care and everything went great. The views of the bluffs are beautiful. Thanks for a great stay!
