Sightseeing
This is a good trail to pack a couple of bottled waters per person, as folks tend to linger along the way and at the crag. A hearty snack is also in order. And a camera is a must, especially if this is your first time to visit Whitaker Point. The best time to photograph the crag is early in the morning or mid-to-late afternoon, once the sun is behind you.

Hawk's Bill Crag/Whitaker Point
County Road 406This is a good trail to pack a couple of bottled waters per person, as folks tend to linger along the way and at the crag. A hearty snack is also in order.

Clocking in at six miles roundtrip, this trail gives you a fantastic view of the biggest bluff between the Rockies and the Appalachians (550 feet tall). The Big Bluff/Goat Trail splits off from the Centerpoint Trail, so park at the Centerpoint trailhead. We cannot overstate the wonder of this view, but in places, the Goat Trail is narrow and dangerous. Don’t drink and hike, avoid this trail if you have a height phobia, and avoid bringing young children on this trail. Do bring plenty of water and snacks and enjoy the breathtaking views.
