Oxbow Loop Trail — Sunday, Aug. 18, 2024

Lovely easy loop with optional spur for river access. Plenty of parking at 11:30 on a beautiful Sunday morning. Saw only a few other people.
Trail right now is covered with teeny tiny frogs, which were attracting a LOT of garter snakes. I saw at least 15 snakes, no exaggeration, and heard similar rustling many more times; they’re keen on avoiding humans, and they’re just garter snakes, so there’s really no danger, but if you’re not a fan of snakes, maybe wait until cooler weather when they’re dormant.
