Trailhead
This trailhead is marked well. There is plenty of parking along the road. If the main parking has filled up, there is a bit more parking uphill after the switchback. Please be courteous to your fellow hikers and park appropriately.
Trail
The beginning trail is called “The Broken Road” because it is an old road that has begun to erode. Follow the road up 0.25 miles and turn left on the first beaten path you find called “Mountain Mist Trail”. You will come to a trail passing over Mountain Mist called “Sinks Trail”. Turn left on Sinks Trail. Continue onto “Logan Point Trail and turn right when you see the sign for “Stone Cuts Trail”

Stone Cut Trails
The Stone Cut Trail has a “bypass”. Be sure you go on the trail marked “Stone Cut Trail” and not the bypass. On the Stone Cut trail, you weave in and out of beautiful rocks towering over you. To get back, you can turn around and head back the way you came, or you can follow Mountain Mist back to the Broken Road.
