Itinerary description

Great trail for a quick walk with the pets or children, my 5 year old loves it. Also great for beginning hikers. The trail is sometimes hard to find - its marked by blue paint on trees, but its hard to get lost in the area. Beautiful forest, some animals nice path. At the head of the trail is a series of fire places and shelters covered in cages, yet the cages and shelters have rusted and collapsed. Kinda creepy in an apocalyptic way.
