Noble Knob by Jennifer S.
What a beautiful day for a hike to Noble Knob! The road to the trailhead is rough but, it looks like pretty much anyone can get through as long as you take your time. I noticed there was an unusual amount of car traffic heading down on FR 7174 and discovered it was due to the White River 50 mile trail run. Yes, 50 miles!! Just about everyone was good at "sharing the road." By the time we reached the trailhead (at mile 16 of the race) there were only 2 more runners expected. The trail is in good shape but, very dusty. There were lots of flies and a few mosquitoes and bees. There is a nice variety of wildflowers blooming now! On the way back we encountered 3 separate groups of mountain bikers. They were all very, very nice and pulled over to let us pass. Considering all of the activity on the trail today, it really did not feel too busy or crowded. In my opinion this is a great example of a shared-use trail.
