About This Trail

Imported description

It is recommended that you contact the park prior to attempting this loop as there is winter closings in this area. This park has a forest and meadowland. The Alambique Trail follows the hillside and intersects with the Skyline Trail. It was a little confusing at first. If you're going south on Skyline, you pass the lot. "Be careful!" There was no major elevation change or obstacles. A nice walk in the woods.
