Description
To earn the Side Trails badge at the end of this hike, you need to have completed all 6 of the 60th Anniversary Side Trails Highlights Series either with the group or by logging your side trails hikes.
Today, starting from the parking area in Kilgorie, we will carpool to the parking lot on 30th sideroad just south of Lavendar. Here we will do a 1.4km loop hike that takes us to our most northern side trail, Black Edge. We will return to Kilgorie, hiking the Kilgorie Side Trail. Next, we'll visit the Bell Lookout Side Trail with its view of the Pine River Valley, travel through the Pine River Valley and Carl Alexander Side Trails. Returning to the Main Trail, we will hike north to the Melodonna Side Trail and back. We will take the Kilgorie Side Trail back to our cars.
