Description
Remember slogging along Airport Rd with speeding cars and trucks blasting along beside you? Well, no more! The Main Trail has finally been moved off of the road and, as a bonus, two side trails have been added, creating new loop opportunities. Today we will shuttle to parking where the Main Trail crosses Airport Rd, then hike back taking in the Meltwater and Paris Moraine Side Trails. Bring water and snacks. Icers could be needed if winter comes early. Hiking poles recommended.
