Berea College Forest Tours

So we may have gotten lost on the tail system. It is very confusing. At one point I passed 3 signs that said Indian Fort Lookout was .1 mile ahead (I never turned off the path I was on). After getting lost I came across this overlook; Very happy I got lost. And, you know, you're never lost in the woods, you are just exploring a new path.

This is Indian fort lookout. It is in between East and West Pinnacle. We started by hiking West Pinnacle and took a "difficult trail" over to Indian Fort Lookout. It was in-fact, difficult, but for this view, worth it!!!
Berea's Pinnacle trails has a steep hike to the top and lots of other longer ones for a day of hiking. In town head to Village Trough for nourishment with grass-fed local burgers. Great for a day trip!
