Let’s try Ewing Park again. Meet by 10:00 a.m. in the BMX parking lot. Note that this is a different meeting location!
We’ll walk into the woods and take “Advanced Trail” to the creek crossing. Then we will go up Trail 2 and come down Trail 3. The north fork of Advanced Trail will bring us back to where we started. This will total about 2.1 miles.
If the dirt is muddy, we will walk only on the paved trails. Either way, we will walk slowly, think “stroll,” and no one will be left behind.
Ewing trails are hilly. Most of the route is dirt singletrack, punctuated with roots and rocks and other features. Hiking poles will be very useful for getting over features, but not a necessity. I will have some to share.
I lead group walks on different trails a few times a month. This free Soft Trail Stroll series is designed to help people looking for a simple way to become more active, and to increase appreciation of our local soft trails.
What is a soft trail? Simply, it is an unpaved trail. Its surface may be dirt, grass, or crushed rock/gravel. I am an avid mountain biker and know all these trails very well. I can guarantee that no one will get lost!
