A friend showed me this trail recently and I loved it! How to get there and where to park is beyond me... But we did a rocky terrain 2 mile run, apparently there is another 3 mile run as well !

Letterboxing is a fun activity for individuals and families alike. It's a lot like a scavenger or treasure hunt combining the elements of map reading, hiking , creative expression, and puzzle solving.

On your way to the park is a “Gravity Hill ”. (Unmarked and part of the road )If you put your car in neutral it will pull you up the road . Crazier doing it backwards. *Please watch for oncoming traffic*

Walk around, enjoy the unique ecology of the serpentine soil barrens, look for chromite, don't bring your horse.
