Pancake Rocks Trail

Access to the Pancake Rocks trail is from the Putney Gulch portion of the trail or by way of the Horsethief Falls Trail portal off State Route 67.

Set out on this moderately strenuous trail as it weaves along steep rocky faces and through meadows overlooking Mt. Pisgah and the town of Victor. This trail features rock formations, wildflowers and wildlife. The well-marked path is easy to follow but should not be taken lightly—some sections traverse steep ledges and drop-offs. Bring water and sun protection, wear sturdy shoes (no flip flops) and bring your camera for amazing photo opportunities along the way.
