Itinerary description

Hitchcock Nature Center
October 27, 2018

This place is a great location to get away from the City without having to drive too far. Different levels of trails allow you to choose an easy walk through the valley or more difficult terrain if so desired. This is an excellent place to take your kids for an afternoon out. If you're into camping, this is also a great place to set up camp for a night or two.

    A nice mix of open trails and wooded coverage. A few steep hills. Absolutely beautiful. Definitely bring water.
