    		• There are about 25 miles of trails in the park with a variety of difficulty levels. Most of the trails that start from the visitor center area lead fairly steep up hill. These trails can generally be accessed from further up the main road as well.

    Trails higher up the park road are somewhat more level and less rocky.

    Trails to try include the Wolf Rock and Chimney Rock trails. On the Cunningham Falls side the Cat Rock trail also leads to an impressive vista. All of these trails are fairly steep.

    Trail maps are available at the Visitor's Center. Expect the heaviest trail traffic in the fall during peak foliage color. Wolf Rock and Chimney Rock seem to be the most popular destination.
