Type of Hike
Day hike
We discovered this trail from the new trail map on this site. The trail was in perfect condition! Several maintenance folks were on the trail trimming some of the lush vegetation on the edges. Lots of summer flowers, tiger lillies, columbine, bluebells. The cool breezes from the tunnels felt great and we took a break next to one to cool down on this hot day (heeding the warning not to go inside).
This trail is great for somebody who is recovering from heart surgery and can not start off climbing steeply. We went up the gradual direction and then down the steep path. On the other hand, if you had some arthritis in the knees or ankles, you could climb up and then take the gentle grade back down.
