Description

Nothing earth-shattering here. Pick up the trail off of the access road to the Fire Center; this trail is a natural follow-on to Mad Hatter. Wide and forgiving, this trail is also a good warm-up route before doing more technical or challenging segments.

Recommend linking this to Matter Hatter and Monument Rock to Mt. Herman Rd trail for a decent start to a day exploring Monument Preserve.
