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 last one finally got the job done. The original trail through here had to be abandoned when private land owners asked the state park to close the trail on their property. 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.
