Brief Trail Description | |
The hike on day one will begin with a three-mile dirt road tour of Aiken’s Historic Horse District; the remainder of the hike will be in Hitchcock Woods adjacent to the horse district. This hike will start at the Coker Springs entrance at 10:30 am. The hike on day two will be on a different set of trails in Hitchcock Woods. This hike will begin at 8:00 am from my residence, which is across from one of the entrances to the woods.
The Historic Horse District in Aiken consists of dirt roads leading to a number of training stables, a horse race track and polo field. Hitchcock Woods is a 2,000-acre urban forest that contains over 65 miles of trails. Living on the perimeter of these woods, I have been able to select a route that is safe, attractive, diverse in elevation and width, and provides rest points every 2 miles. All trails are natural sandy terrain, ranging from flat dirt roads to narrow hilly trails. |
