Piecing Together Trails | Garner State Park
Before breaking down camp and heading home after our camping trip, we went for morning hike along the Wild Horse Creek, Highway, and Ashe Juniper trails. We saw no one along the trails until we were almost back to the car. The trail starts along Wild Horse Creek which is a pretty, spring-flowing creek that looked great for exploring when Forest gets a bit bigger. The trail gently undulates and climbs but levels out after awhile. It was quiet along the trail, not a lot of activity, though plenty of plant identifying to be had for the botany geeks like us. We didn’t complete the Ashe Juniper trail, and instead took a short break at the junction of the second loop and began heading back towards the car. As much as I wanted to have done more trails in the park with elevation gain, I think we all enjoyed just being on another trail with less people.
