Short Hikes

Any time spent out in the wild is good time, even if it’s just a short escape. Below is a list of shorter hikes I’ve taken, most of which are good options for youngsters or those who don’t get out all that much. These are five miles or shorter, and most have a trail all the way. Click on any of the description links for a trip report and photos.
