Hiking
There are also a couple walks (3-5 miles in range) from the house on the gravel roads that I'm happy to suggest. Please use caution and keep in mind the dust from the cars on the gravel road.
Park in the parking lot just off Rt. 7 and begin your hike. Short, but rocky, 1 mile hike up to the beautiful overlook, then 1 mile down. If you prefer a shorter option, park at the hostel entrance and walk down to the overlook. Weekends are very crowded so best during the week at an off time.
