Doughton Park Primitive Loop
Today's hike was up the Primitive Trail and down cedar Ridge Trail. It was a mild Spring day with intermittent sunshine. There were 17 of us led by Jon Maxwell. Primitive Trail is a steep 2.8 mile. If you are not in condition it will let you know. Today I walked at the rear making sure no one became a "Primitive" victim. The slow pace was a big change for me. It took 2 1/2 hours to make the short 2.8 mile ascent.
The walk along Bluff Mountain is beautiful but I was hurried today. The pace was quick down Cedar Ridge Trail as well.
