Bridle Trails State Park — Sunday, Dec. 15, 2024

This was a great beginner hike. My parents and I took the Coyote Loop, and it was very peaceful. Pretty low foot traffic for a weekend, and it was nice. The trail had lots of muddy and wet spots to watch out for but nothing you couldn't step around. The trees that had fallen over from the storm in late November were cleared out from the trail, with fallen trees on remaining on the sides. Watch out for horse poop! There was quite a bit of it, luckily we were able to catch it. Speaking of horses, a lady named Linda and her horse Libby saved us. My dad had dropped his wallet, and Linda found it. She was able to find us with her horse, just as we were exiting the trail. Very kind hikers like her passed by. Overall, the Coyote Loop was easily navigable and a great time.
