At the tiny trailhead for Luti Loop on Oak Hill Rd. in Concord. It was full so I parked roadside. |

The only issue I noted is trail name inconsistency. New city-erected signage doesn't match up with their own map or older signage still in the field (Ovenbird Scuttle vs. Ovenbird Trail, for example). |

With the 5th edition of the AMC southern guide going to press any second now, it's a good time to get going on the 6th edition (2025), so I walked several trails here that I didn't have data on.
This was a meandering route with some backtracking, but by sticking to mostly side trails, I avoided the main traffic on Tower Trail; I was only on that for a short section.
Ok views from Oak Hill Vista and Swope Slope Vista due to the overcast. The vernal pools along Krupa Loop are hoppin' with wood frogs right now! |
