The Trail
The trail is marked with pink ribbons and orange spary-paint on trees.
When in doubt, look for the pink ribbons.
The orange spray paint was there before us, and in one place it leads down left into the swamp, at that point look for the pink ribbons on your right and continue up onto the rocks.
If you follow the pink ribbons, you should get to the destination in 35-45 minutes.
