It is a very short trail which is paved for the entire distance, making for a quick and easy hike. The trail travels out to a rim overlooking a series of lakes and reservoirs and then circles back to the parking area in a loop. At this overlook there are interpretive signs and information concerning the glacial construction of the lakes and reservoirs below.
