Description
We will carpool to Silent Valley and hike a couple of loops - the Silent Valley Side Trail to the Avalanche Pass Side Trail. From there will we pick up the main trail going south to where it meets the Wilson Homestead Side Trail. Following the Wilson Homestead Side Trail, we pass the foundation of the settlers’ barn and well. Further on, we pass the remains of the plane that crashed in the forest 40 years ago. Good footwear is required for this hike. The Avalanche Pass Side Trail runs through an area of large boulders below the escarpment edge which can be slippery. November conditions are unpredictable, have your icers with you. Map 30. If you are unable to register, please call or text the hike leader at 647-918-4180.
