However, despite that easy rating, the loop trail is often quiet, and you might run into a few other hikers - or no one at all - on your trek.

The trail is drenched in natural beauty with wildflowers dotting the path in the warmer months and fall foliage painting the landscape in the fall.

You will have to climb up a set of old stairs, which can be tricky, so watch your step as you're going up. Keep an eye out for local wildlife - frogs, toads, and deer - too.

You'll even pass an old cemetery that's worth a look at.

The highlight of the trail, however, is arguably the suspension bridge, which is actually the start of the picturesque trail. If you're not a fan of heights, you might get a few butterflies.

If the trail is quiet, take your time as you cross the suspension bridge. After all, it's the perfect spot to drink in the scenery and to snap photos.
