May 19 Ruben Mountain Hike

Royal Fern along trail

The newest trail at Hanging Rock State Park, Ruben Mountain Trail. I have seen it spelled Reuben as well. It was a contractor built trail. Actually, there were 3 contractors hired.

The approach trail was rather boring but Ruben Mtn Trail sports a healthy amount of Rhododendron and has some limited views. It is muddy in spots and probably will suffer from horse use.
