Best time to go for a hike on this trail: : summer, fall SUMMARY: The Devils Nose trail sounds ominous but to be frank it’s a FAST-PACED trail with limited interruption to your destination. The trail is heavily wooded and downgrades through the forest to several water features and a thicket of pine. The trail markings are light or inconsistent so be mindful of this as you move with purpose. Once you make the water feature, then it’s a short but steady incline to the Devils Nose. Your summit is a rock outcrop that jetties (like a nose) into the valley. The nose is fun to explore, lay out on or lunch on… once you have had your fill then retrace your steps back to your car. |
