A forest walk was just what we wanted out of this rainy day.
THE ROAD / PARKING
We started at the Coal Creek Parkway trailhead (the one the WTA coordinates take you to).
The parking lot is right off of Coal Creek Parkway, and the lot itself is in great shape. It's pretty small though — only about a dozen spaces. It was nearly full at 9:30 this morning.
When we got back shortly after noon, the lot had mostly cleared out.
THE TRAIL
The trail is in great shape! We hiked toward Red Town, and made it as far as North Fork Falls, which were very cool. There's one section where a puncheon has a couple of slats out of place, but it's easy to walk over.
MISC.
Wildflowers are out! There were plenty to enjoy on our hike today.
There are so many great picnic spots on this hike. Several of them are creek access points, which I bet would be great on a sunny day. And there are quite a few benches along the trail to sit a while.
