| Comments: |
Hale Brook was wet, but still a complete breeze. Fire Wardens trail was a neat trip, made possible by a car spot. The glades are beautiful with lots of trout lily, and old mans beard. Look for a small cairn up against a tree on the herd path on the left bank. This marks the entrance to the fire Wardens trail. Once you find the start, it is very easy to follow. |
