October 18, 2020October 11, 2020Busy today!!
October 11, 2020Very nice on a crisp fall day.
October 11, 2020Settlers and Mother Earth are beautiful. Nice scenery. No well marked though. Somewhat busy for fall foliage.
October 9, 2020September 27, 2020Several trails of varying length from 0.5-2.0 miles. Settler's Trail is my favorite, and Mother Earth is also nice. Very quiet on weekdays, but now overly crowded if you go earlier on weekend mornings.
September 20, 2020September 20, 2020One of my favorite trails close to home !!
September 19, 2020September 12, 2020The trail itself is great. However, it’s poorly marked in my opinion. The app helped find my way better than the trail markers.
September 6, 2020Great scenery and love being under the trees!
