Reviewed by Foht Family on 1/12/2008 This was nice little hike, The trail head phamplet, is very informative and educational. I would reccomed this trail for anyone with children who are learning about the underground railroad. Between the phamplet and the scenery you get a small feed of what escaped slaves would have gone through. Tony, Stacy, Madison and Sammy Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous.
