Inspiration Point Trailhead at Roman Nose

I planned on hiking inspirational point, however the Trailhead is shut-off and you have to enter by the lodge/lookout kitchen (which i think closed). Trail ascending is well marked. If you take the loop back, trail is almost like an animal path and very longer.. I didnt have enough time so took the ascending trail back down. Amazing views. Not crowded but not completely secluded. Some very ligjt scrambling and rocky in spots. Pictures are in order from beginning to end.

This was my first time to visit Roman Nose and I was pretty disappointed. There are no signs letting you know where to park for the inspirational point loop, nor the location of the trailhead. When you finally do find your way around and get to the top, you are greeted with noise pollution from construction below and the stench of urine (not the wildlife kind) I enjoyed the moderate hike and had the pleasure of seeing deer under the canopy. There are other trails to explore that branch off from inspirational point loop, so I think it deserves another chance. I'll save you the hassle and let you know parking is located at the General Store. The trailhead entrance is on the sw side of that parking lot. The loop is around 5 miles.

Make the trek here it’s definitely worth it
