 | Comments: |
Another post work hike. The trail was well marked and easy to follow. Trust it as it goes RIGHT behind a house. As I neared the reservoir at one point, there was some construction and trail closed signs through the trees that I was afraid were for reservoir trail but it was for another. I did not catch the name of it. Though the trail makes a circuit around the reservoir, it does not have all that many views of it though the trail itself was pleasant enough. Gaia had me at 6.7mi, 300ft of gain, 1hr54min. |
