When you park, begin with the GREEN trail passing this Weis Ecology Center sign.

Continue along this gravel path

As you continue along the GREEN trail, you will see Highlands Natural Pool to your left. A nice place to cool off in the summer.

Mini waterfall emptying into the pool

Soon we pass a bridge

And come to the information board. The GREEN trail continues right, but we want to go straight to the start of the YELLOW and BLUE trail (The trail is both colors until it splits off left and right) 

When the BLUE and YELLOW trail splits in either directions, continue on the blue to your right. (Not pictured)

Here is a glimpse of how exciting the terrain is in Norvin Green.

First lookout

Beautiful Views

At 1.5 mi There is a confusing amount of trail markers. Let's start with the first tree- It has 2 teal diamond blazes (Highlands trail) and two red dot blazes (Red trail) indicating to turn right. They will take you up the rocks to Wyanokie Hi-Point.

The two blue markers indicating to turn left is the trail we just came from.

The second tree simply has signs pointing back to "Weis" Ecology Center and to "Hi-Point"

1.50 mi.

Wyanokie Hi-Point

When we continue the trail after Hi-Point, some trees only have the red blazes and no highlands blazes-that's ok-keep following them
