Kunjamuk Trail.
This 3-mile trail cuts straight through to Kunjamuk Cave and the river beyond, no switchbacks or scenic detours to slow you down. The ground surface keeps things simple underfoot. It's the kind of hike you knock out in a morning when you want miles without drama, or when you're using it as the access route it was built to be.
- Peak foliage window — color starts up high and works down the valleys through mid-October.
