Description:

Our route is a loop hike from main parking lot, trails 5 > 3 > 35 and returning through the Arboretum back to the parking lot. This is intended to be a conditioning hike, but not a race. At each major trail junction either have a quick rest, or (optional) participate in some squats, lunges, stretches, etc. Plan for 2.5 - 3 hours. Look for the trip leader's car in the middle row on the south side of the main parking lot. Be prepared for mud on the trail.

Trip Report

Lots of mud! Most of the rain held off until the end of the hike. A good hike with few if any people on the trail.
