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.
Love Volunteering here. Will prob be doing it for many many years. You should come out some time. =)
Great colors even for December. Nice brisk hike .
I love the new trail plan to connect soldiers to the reservoir
Hiking but don't do Serpentine Trail in the heat of the summer.
Great walks in an ecologically unique and strange environment
