Too nice a day to pass up going for a hike. I did a loop in McLean Game Refuge that took me in Canton Road, past Spring Pond, and up the hill over to Kettle Pond. I turned left on the woods road and went to the top of the hill to the summit. Returning from the top, I took the other section of the Summit Trail to the North Trail and out of the Refuge via the Creek Trail.
If you go out on one of the ledges, you can look north up the valley.
From your position on the Eastern Barndoor Hill, you can look across at the Western Barndoor Hill. Horse farms below are on Barndoor Hills Road.
The Creek Trail takes you across a balance beam over the creek. Okay, it's quite a bit wider than a balance beam.
Nice mid-week hike!
