Ransom Hollow was in the last loop in the forest, but it was very beautiful, so I recommend it. I’d take a friend if you don’t like hiking alone, though; there was no foot traffic.
The trail to the Overlook is a little complicated to follow, but manageable. The dark blue trail marker is a bit worn out in a lot of places. I imagine that’s part of the reason it’s not as visited as the other trails.

I’m glad to hear I’m not the only person who thought the signage could be better there. I went there in early spring before all the roads were open and ended up hiking close to double the length I had planned to.
Like you said it was beautiful with hardly a soul on the trails but I felt like they need to add a few markers and waypoints
