Great day to be on the Castle properties, with our first trip on the Interpretive trail which has 18 signs with info about the area as well as flora and fauna. Great climb up to Oak Ridge where there is an amazing view of the Castle and the surrounding peaks. On this day we could see Monadnock, Cardigan and many others. The final leg coming down Oak Ridge was very muddy. Otherwise trails were in great shape and it was fun to take the kids on this hike so they could learn more about our beautiful state. |
