Plan your hike on the Conklin's Gully Loop with careful preparation. While the trail is marked with yellow blazes, navigation can be tricky. Download a reliable hiking app for accurate tracking, as the map at the kiosk lacks crucial details. Note that there is an overgrown and buggy spur trail that veers off the main loop and comes with less-than-stellar views. Enjoy the primary trail's unparalleled perspectives and the natural splendor of High Tor, but consider skipping this extra spur.
