Off Trail in Morrow Mountain SP





It was a perfect day for hiking. The temperature was cold, the air was still and in Morrow Mountain the place was empty. After parking at the horse trailer parking area, I walked up Morrow Mountain and through the quarry debris field. Then down the MM trail, off onto the outer loop bridle trail, off trail to the park headquarters for lunch.

After my lunch I headed up to a concrete water tank on Hattaway Mountain near the swimming pool. Just above the tank is a old road which rises close to the top of the mountain and then gently down the reverse side. Near the bottom is a small impoundment of less than a acre and the outer bridle loop. I followed this back to the park entrance and parking lot. I believe this to be the original entrance to the park as there is a stone gate and what looks like an old stone sign.
