My last visit to Lord Hill was on a rainy, cold, miserable, muddy December day. I thought I'd try again on a warm day with brilliant sunshine.
Even on such a nice day, the trailhead was far from busy. The place is a mze of trails, but I decided to keep it fairly simple. I followed Main and Pipeline trails across the park to the south trailhead. I looped back along the Quarry/River Overlook trails, and took the side trail down to the river. Back up to the Main trail, down to the Pipeline, and then north again on the Pipeline back to the car, stopping quickly at the "viewpoint" (which is fairly pleasant.
This hike is so close to home and is perfect for those days when I'm extra short on time. It really is not super scenic, but is a nice forest walk for those days when you just need to have a nice forest walk. I have a feeling that fall will be the best season for this trail, so I'll be sure to swing by then.
