Many trail options of varying degrees of difficulty from meander to serious hiker. Great views, clean, well organized.
Sky Meadows State Park
11012 Edmonds LnBear’s Den-This hike just off the Appalachian Trail provides the best view per effort required. Although it has a few steep sections, it’s only about 1 mile to a beautiful view of the valley. And if even that sounds too ambitious, park at the Bears Den Hostel, just ½ mile up 601 from Route 7, where you’ll walk less than ½ mile to the overlook or enjoy other short trails ($3 fee). Parking for the hike can be found where Route 7 meets 601. Can be crowded on weekends.
