Description:

There is a new loop added off the summit of the existing trail. It has amazing features and vistas. It just opened but will not be advertised to the public until next year. If I can get enough drivers this will be a one-way hike with shuttle. I will ask three cars to meet me ahead of time at the trail head off Bob Straub and ride with me to the east trail head. Then we can shuttle the group back. If not we can do an up and back.

Meet at the North Trail Head parking lot off Main Street in East Springfield. You will see the entrance on the right just past Springfield Memorial Cemetery

Trip Report

After a rainy spring the weather was perfect for our hike. Sunny in the mid 70's. We parked three cars at the end of the trail at Quartz Park. We drove in one car to the trail head off of Hwy 126 to meet up with the other hikers. This is a beautiful local hike with much variety. All shared they enjoyed the hike and of course visiting with each other.
