8.6 mile loop hike in Umstead
Details
We'll do an 8.6 mile loop walk on the multi-use trails in Umstead. No rocks and roots, some hills. We should easily be able to do an average of 3 mph since it is on multi-use trails.
Weather is looking good.
We will start in the gravel parking lot that used to be called the horse trailer parking.
Go past the visitor center, and turn left onto Maintenance Rd. Take the obligatory right turn. At the next option, fork left onto Camp Sycamore Access Rd. On google maps this parking lot is labelled Sycamore Parking Graylyn Trail. (See map with pin.) Do NOT go to the parking lot that is usually used to hike the Sycamore Trail.
This hike will be posted in another hiking group, so there will probably be more people attending than are on this RSVP list.
