A short, steep, very heavily used moderately difficult trail built c. 1900 with major rock work added in 1997 and 1998. Trail leads from parking lot, south through woods, and loops back toward light house along rocks and terminates at overlook. Trail offers stunning views of ocean and lighthouse. Section above woodwork is 1997 reroute to rehabilitate scar west of trail. Tread is gravel and pressure-treated planked deck and steps, then rock steps to overlook which is paved with small stones, all rehabilitated in the 1990s. Lower section of rip rap about 4’ wide, and curving steps to smaller overlook are as narrow as 36”. Stone steps - some set-behind, some rip rap - are all 1998 work. Stone coping and stone retaining wall line much of trail, and several stainless steel pins anchor deck and parts of the wooden staircase to ledge. A popular spot for photographs.
