After the last event at Holden being 120 feet up in the trees, we’re back on solid ground. Mostly solid. We’ll see. Clocks in at 1.9 miles.

This loop mixes woods and open meadow, with streams running alongside and plenty of different trees to pretend we can identify. It’s a bridle trail, which means horses. Horses have the right of way, partly because it’s polite and partly because they outweigh us even after Thanksgiving. Watch where you step. Not every brown thing on a bridle trail is a leaf.

The reviews list slippery rocks, trees across the trail, and some elevation change. That makes it a moderate hike for normal people and a full cardio event for anyone else. It’s mid-November, so plan on mud. If you remember Artax in the Swamp of Sadness, you know how that ends. Keep moving and don’t give up on the hill.

Bring: Waterproof shoes or hiking boots (recommend), layers, and water.

If the event shows as full, just show up
