This trail may be combined with Webster-Jackson Trail at the north end of the park to create a nice loop trail or it may be hiked singularly northbound from the Arethusa Falls area, hiking past Mt. Webster and Mt. Jackson to terminate at AMC Nauman Tent site at Mizpath Cutoff Trail which is part of the network of trails within the national forest. Several streams must be negotiated along this beautiful hike which affords one scenic view after another of the Presidential Range. Note: the Appalachian National Scenic Trail is on overlay.
