We returned to the condo after hiking Glen Falls. But it was only about 2 in the afternoon, so I decided to go find another trail. There is actually a trail in Highlands itself. If you take Main Street until it becomes Horse Cove Road, you will see the Nature Center on the left. Park on the right, and a gravel road leads uphill from there. This is the trail that leads up to Sunset Rock, and it is about 0.6 miles long.

At the top of a gradual climb, turn right and soon there is a clearing. There is a natural rock amphitheater here, facing West (obviously), with views of the town below. I spent a few minutes here, then returned to the main trail. On the other side of the gravel road is a less-used path that leads to Sunrise Rock. I took this, and again after a short distance there is a clearing. Beautiful views on this side as well!
I returned to the car after an easy downhill walk, and took a quick look around the Nature Center, before heading back to the condo.
