| Comments: |
Red, Orange, White, Orange again to make loop from gate at bottom Carriage Rd. parking
Great sunny day to be out. Minimal mud easily avoidable. Snow all gone. A few slippery spots but if careful no big deal. Nice views from several locations. Popular short hike (~5 miles) for good reason. If haven't been there before consult a map to be sure that you take the right turns at junctions if doing this loop or you could wind up a long way from your vehicle. |
