Trail description

The cliffs themselves are a constant presence. Rising dramatically to your left as you walk, the columnar basalt formations of the Palisades are geologically significant — formed from ancient basaltic intrusions. You don't need to be a geology enthusiast to appreciate them; they're simply striking to look at, especially when the light hits them in the late afternoon.
