If you like history and artifacts, you'll enjoy this easy, 2.3 mile hike (one way). As mentioned above, it was "spongy" in places, but we knew that going into the hike. Evidence from the former Ranger Cabin buildings at 0.25 mi. prior to the summit. At the summit are partial remains of the metal skeleton, and partial views through the trees. Nice job to the folks who opened up this trail! |
