Bald Knob
Best mountain views of the area for the hike. Car to the top is less than a mile.
The "Cascades". A nice easy hike along Little Stoney Creek to a waterfall. Can be very popular. Leaving the parking lot, take the first bridge on the right over the creek and hike up the trail going up stream on the SE side of the creek for the best views.
