General Directions

General Directions

From the parking lot, find the main path up the hill.  The main path is the old road to the gravel pit at the top of Nose HIll and you will recognize it as it is an old asphalt road, not just a walking path. Go to the top of the hill.

What You Will See

At the top of the hill follow the main path west until you see the gravel pit on the north side.  Take the easy path down into the old pit.  Don't climb down the gravel sides as the gravel will roll and you may sprain an ankle or worse.
