11.3 miles of hiking • 1500' elevation gain •
Felt more like summer than winter! Only saw one group of people during the entire hike! Plenty of old growth, and the trail was plenty wet despite the lack of rain. We took the Buck Creek Trail out to the Perimeter Trail and then closed the loop on the Rackett Ridge Trail for the return. We also explored a couple other roads that looked of interest. Great day in a beautiful forest with plenty of solitude!
