About This Trail

The Africa loop is known for what it is: it's shape. You cannot go from the red dot back to the flautist point. You should climb Tom Jones Mountain in no time. It is helpful to see shelter on your left east of the trail. "Go down, continued on the RD after crossing the Victory," theQuote said. That's right; head up the cabin mountain. The trail that you come to is on the left and goes down the mountain. They say to go down to Lake Skenonto. Every June, there is mountain leafy along these trails. Make a left at the lake and travel north and then west to the RD. It goes along a road for a while. "When you come back to the area, remember to take a look at the boulders and do not leave the park to go back up Tom Jones Mountain."
