Pond Hollow is one of the most interesting and challenging trails on the mountain. It is located within a geologic fault line.
The fault line is located in the center of the trail and easily recognized by the 50-100-foot swath of displaced boulders. (Read more about this geology here.)
Note the interesting placement of plant life. The forested area to the west has been labeled as prime bobcat habitat. Use caution in winter.
