Trip Report

Parking at the North Trailhead, it took around two hours to hike the North Bottom Loop, around Swing Hill to Trail 4 and main trail to the summit. Lynn led a longer hike for those who didn't have tickets or had tickets for a 2:00 admission. Those who purchased tickets for an early admission made their way down on Trail 35 to the mushroom festival where it was fun to visit the booths, visit with friends, and purchase tasty mushroom soup or mushroom/cheese with pear chutney from the food carts. Bill Sullivan had a booth with his newest books. It was easy to take the Pedestrian Festival Path along the river back to our cars. Next year plan to purchase on line tickets early. Another option is to purchase an Arboretum membership that includes a parking pass and ticket to the mushroom show.
