Initially, the trail is gravel, but the gravel soon gives way to a pine needle-covered trail. The trail makes a right bend and passes through a thicket of Mountain laurel and rhododendron. White pine and Pitch pine are in the canopy. The huge boulders of the Indian Gap are visible. The trail travels around the tall boulder field. There is also a tunnel formed by some of the rocks. Loop around the boulders and return via the same route. Be careful if climbing the boulders.
