Description
The trail is accessed from the Hartwood Acres Purple Loop near the mansion parking lot. Starting south you'll follow the purple loop for a few hundred feet before jumping across the road/walking path and continuing the Orange Loop. The trail is smooth with a dip into a valley and a climb back out but not terribly challenging. You'll poke out of the woods for a brief period, and on a hot summer day it feels like jumping into and then out of a furnace. Connected to the Orange Loop is the White Loop.
