We think we hiked about 4.2 miles in all--the Fox Creek Spur is .6 miles and is a gradual but steady incline for most of that distance. It really gets your heart pumping right away. Then the first half of the 3 mile Roundhouse Trail is mostly incline as well, but once you get used to it, it's not really that terrible, although Paul thought that the condition of the trail (many grooves from horse hooves) and the inclines made it the hardest 3 mile trail he's ever completed.
The trailhead for the Fox Creek Spur is across Fox Creek Road and next to the Greenrock Trailhead. There were a few cars when we started, but none when we finished. I had completely forgotten about this trail for years. If we'd been at Rockwoods Reservation, there would have been crowds.
Again, this is a multi-use trail, which means that the condition was not as smooth as a hiking only trail. Although we ran into only one other hiker--and technically, she was on a different trail at the Round House cut off.

| Gorgeous day, about 65 degrees, no clouds. |

| Inclines are the norm on this trail. |

| Have no idea what this is supposed to spell. |

| Cute outhouses in the middle of the Roundhouse Trail. |
