Trip Report

Final summer trip on a foggy morning. A nice walk in the woods on the improved Blanton section of the Ridgeline Trail. We noted the compacted gravel tread that will help eliminate muddy spots. In several areas the trail has been widened a bit. Some places have new reinforcements on the down slope side to the trail. Thanks to the City and their contractors for these improvements.
