It meets up with several other trails at a cleared space known as "The Junction." Some highlights of the trail include stone walls, cairns, glacial erratics, and a large tree; called the wolf tree, with a rope swing. The Cliff is part of the town-owned Fifty-Foot Cliff Preserve, 102 acres of mostly forested land with a 1.4 mile trail. According to legend, when the cliff was devoid of trees in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, calls from the top of the bluff would carry all the way to nearby Coney Rock.[5][6] See also
