Silver Falls - shorter Buck Mountain Trail
About this event
Description: We will start at the Howard Creek trailhead and hike the Buck Mountain Trail to the junction with the Catamount Trail. At this point, we will likely have lunch, then return the way we came. There are no falls on this trail, but the trees, ferns, etc. are thick and gorgeous. We may encounter a few horses or bikes, but we can co-exist nicely here. We will not share the trail with the hoards of hikers, who will be on the falls trails! Please contact the leader by email only by noon the day prior. The leader will not be available by phone/text until July 17.
