Got back on a hike today with four friends. Met at Oxbow Loop at 10. (Note: Lake Dorothy Road is still closed. Just stay right ant the fork and you will get back on Middlefork).
We wanted to hike the Oxbow Loop which is easy and very pretty. We always take our time here, with lovely river views, views above Oxbow Lake, moss covered trees and wildlife.
We then carpooled down to Garfield Ledges lot in one high clearance vehicle because of the deep potholes down crossing the bridge at the very end of the road. No snow at all not even on the peaks hardly.
The Garfield Ledges trail is on the right as you park, going uphill. It’s a short hike but some stairs and a bit of an uphill march give a bit of a challenge.
The top has a wonderful view, and we had it to ourselves for 1/2 hour while we ate lunch. Hardly any other hikers on either trail today.
Short downhill stroll, carpool the five miles back to Oxbow and on the road home by 2:30. Easy fun day outside.
