2The Crystal Mill Hike
This nine-mile hike is one of the most beautiful hikes in the state. It is moderately difficult, but it is highlighted by rewarding, picturesque views of a mill above a wonderful waterfall. The hike has a steep start, but once you manage that, the rest of the hike is downhill, so to speak, and you will soon be at the old mill. If you’re with someone who’s not interested in hiking for nine miles, you can actually take a jeep tour, but, hey, you’re a hiker, right? The best time to hit this trail is reported to be in the fall, or outside of the peak tourist season.
