Story:
A nice hike to see Cat Harbor from a high point, and see some of the back side of the island. Started at the campground, and ended at the town. We did this in the late afternoon for cooler breezes. We came across a bison feeding near the trail. We learned that this guy waits near the gate for a car to open it and then comes though to feed on this side of the fence. (the fence that is supposed to keep them out of this area.) Also saw a deer on the steep hillside.

Tips:
Recommend hiking shoes with waffle soles, and hiking sticks or trekking poles. Bring plenty of water. No shade and it can be hot in the sun. Morning or late afternoon will be cooler in warm weather. Very steep climb in some spots with crumbling, slippery rocks. Watch for rattle snakes and bison.
