retiredwanderer’s Trip Reports

BEWARE: This route is very outdated- there are several sections that are completely closed / rerouted now and I had to double back and take a longer route to complete the loop- ended up going almost 8 miles. This trail is also a bit highly rated for what it is. I can see why locals love the park so much; the trails are very well maintained and there's a lot of them, and while there's enough terrain to be interesting there's very little that was particularly steep.. I would be there all the time if I lived close by, but other than a couple of modestly interesting historical spots and some nice meadows, it's short on views / destinations. I hiked on a weekday and I saw 5 mountain bikes for every hiker; judging by tire tracks I suspect on weekends you'd be dodging a lot of bikes.
