Loved this trail! Had great views & lots of fun! I would definitely recommend as a year round solid hike
There are some beautiful views on this hike, although the trail is a gravel road with private property on both sides. I saw some wildlife on this hike though, and the BMA at the end would be really neat to explore.
This hike is basically two miles on a dirt road through private property. It was cool to see the remnants of some old log cabins, but I really just found myself jealous of the people who live back there now. The scenery was pretty, although I probably won't be back as there are quite a few better hikes in the area.
The scenery was great, I however didn't like that there were several huge homes along the way, it didn't feel as though I was really "out" on a hike but more like a walk through a wealthy mountain neighborhood. It was an easy hike, the road is a well maintained dirt road. Most of it was out in the open, so it was rather hot. The creek was below us down a very steep hill and there were no trespassing signs all along the way warning not to get off the road so I had a time finding a spot where the dogs could get a cool drink. This is one I probably won't do again, maybe, but on my mountain bike not a hike.
If you follow the old road this is an easy walk, nice for family. lot of people use it for skiing in the winter. Nice meadows, old farmhouses and log cabin.
