This is on the section of the Horseshoe Trail between Fairview Rd. and Prizer Rd. Steep ups and downs! Streams to cross! Follow the yellow blazes.
From the parking off Fairview Road follow the yellow blazes steeply up the driveway and turn left into the woods. The trail continues to climb. Then it levels off for a little while and decends. You will pass a side trail to Welkenweir and cross a creek. Stop by the creek and look for the Shag Bark Hickory Trees. It’s easy to see how shagbark hickories got their name! Their trunks are characterized by long, peeling strips of bark. Some animals make their homes in snug crevices beneath the loose bark. Branches and leaves of shagbarks form pretty, oval-shaped crowns in the spring and summer. Hickories are deciduous trees, so when autumn arrives, their leaves turn pale green to yellowish-brown before falling to the ground.
You are looking for a Shagbark Hickory tree and the cache which it protects.
