TRAILHEADS - HIKING - LOOPING
TRAILS
Looping trails start and end at
the trailhead. They are my favorite type of trail to hike. If a trail
doesn't loop, the hiker simply backtracks to the trailhead, revisiting
the area they hiked in.
A looping
trail allows twice the amount of hiking experience, with new things to explore
along the journey back to the trailhead.
Many times, the hiker will have
the option of exploring several trails that spiral off the main
trailhead.
Generally, the trails consist of painted markers that
are stamped on trees or posts that let the hiker know that they
are a) on the right trail and b) that they are still on the trail,
as overgrowth often makes it difficult for the hiker to discern
the walking path on the trail.
