Description

Hemlock begins at the Expert signed intersection in the middle of the rock garden on Silvermine. It begins with a gradual climb through pronounced rounded boulders to a rockier climb up the outcrop. The trail is the fairly level to its intersection with Black Bear. Watch for an optional line to the right that will take you over a couple wooden bridges spanning some deep gaps between boulders.
