Head out on this 1.7-mile loop trail 5m from the cabin. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 44 min to complete. This trail is great for hiking, running, and walking, and it's unlikely you'll encounter many other people while exploring. It does involve occasionally scrabbling over some rocks. There are a few rocks visible where Native Americans would grind acorns. Finding the trail is a little confusing, you park in the dirt lot labeled Metate trailhead, then cross the street to the Rock Camp forest service station, walk around the locked gate and follow the road straight.
