Comments
Comments: Decent day to get these trails. I would say, given the bugs and lack of any views that these are a "once and done"' for me unless someone holds a gun to my head. Still, a pleasant woods walk... mostly....

Did this as a bike spot - left bike at the Willey House Snack Bar (always seems a little weird to have a snack bar where that family died in the landslide!!!!) and biked back downhill to my car - worked pretty good.
