Mianus River Park
\n4 miles
\nCool, perfectly comfortable
\nOff-road cyclists in out-of-the-way places<\/p>\n

I walked trails I have never walked before. <\/p>\n

River Road to Inner Road which becomes Pine Hill. Left turn on Oak Trail, then Trail A. Trail A gets interestingly small and winds around some small ponds. I got a little lost but followed some faint cycle paths in the leaves until I came to a marker. Deer Trail back to Oak Trail. Oak Trail to Main Road, a small shortcut to a dam. Retraced to Main Road and then a short excursion on Cave Trail. Back to Main Road, then a cutoff on Swamp Trail and Corner Trail intersecting back with Inner Road. <\/p>\n

Intricate hike. I would have gotten so lost without the trail map on my phone. <\/p>\n

Partially beautiful. Many dead tree trunks returning a rich auburn substance to soil. Small bodies of water. Companioned by a little stream. Narrow paths curving around mountain laurels looking sculptural. Boulders and rocky cliffs with great presence. <\/p>\n
