A stone altar surrounded by a low hedge of young pruned hemlock trees borders the western edge of the path. Kneeling at the altar provides a view through a narrow gap in the forest, with a glimpse of the lake and temple steeple aligned in view. The path continues to descend down the slope to the southwest, and twines around the trees further upwards to the east.
