Dogs and handlers will begin the hike on the Darby Creek GreenwayTrail, then go north up the Lakeview Trail. We will proceed to the River Rock Trail, and then back on the Greenway Trail south to the dead-end at I-70. The hike finishes returning north on the Greenway Trail to the parking lot. Trails are predominantly grass and dirt with a portion on gravel. Location- Sunday : The route will be weaving through the mown fields, mainly level trails through woods, and around the ponds that make up the 100+ acre property. There will be chances for the dogs to jump in a pond to cool off and at least half the hike will take place in the shade. An 8 mile hike will be 2.5 loops around the property. |
