it’s not 8.4miles, it’s 10.40miles! Rocky road, some trail share with bicycle trail, some not very clear marked, need check with app to avoid lost.
it was a tough trail. lots of small rocks hidden by lots of leaves!
great trail. little difficult but we took our dog and she loved it!
Through the botanical Gardens beautiful 10 mile walk the flowers are beautiful in the ground so nice
Pros: the grounds coming in are beautiful. The trails are pretty during the spring and VERY green. Cons: the AllTrails route does not follow all blazed trails. There are several points at which there's a fork or turn in the trail but it's not shown on AllTrails. High Mountain and Warm Puppy Rock are disappointing viewpoints. Both aren't above the tree line, especially in Spring. A fair portion of the route is on unpaved roads instead of trails.
Decent trail, No impressive views really, especially in the spring/ summer. Nice for day hiking and if you don’t want to exert too much
Really nice trail! Beautiful grounds with statues and sculptures. Cute benches to sit on and nice lake. Trails themselves were awesome, small footpath and a bit overgrown but made it that more exciting. I did see a frog in the little streets and brooks. Rocks, roots and knocked down trees but over all really decent and not too difficult. Beautifully green!
The blue trail was great to follow the whole time. I wandered to the yellow trail to find part of it blocked. Really fun hiking experience going over knocked down trees and overgrown plants. I was alone the entire time, went on a Wednesday around 11:30 am. Some uphill and rocks but overall any level can do this. So fun! Beautiful grounds outside of the trails!
Pretty easy trail to go for, wouldn’t label it as moderate. Definitely good to have the app open as there’s a lot of trails that intersect and can get off your planned route fairly easily.
Great hike, and very pretty terrain, but it wasn’t a very well marked trail, nor very cohesive. There are parts that seem like they aren’t marked trails at all, and constant splits and forks that get pretty confusing. Got lost for about 2.5 miles, pretty much made an 11 mile hike out this, was exhausted by the end. The highpoint was beautiful, but the foliage blocked our view, I recommend going later in the season or in Winter. We didn’t see any other hikers during the four hours, only bicyclists. Some parts were overgrown, especially the green trail near the highpoint, but I still recommend it! (Just keep your eyes out for trail markers, and I highly recommend this app if you haven’t had experience in this park before)
