Rain was predicted in the afternoon so we left our campsite to go hiking. The first trail was the big oak trail And red Tail Ridge Loop, Trail. This was a fairly easy hike that went through the woods And had several outlooks. The most memorable thing on this hike with a great number of mushrooms we passed and all of different colors and sizes.
It was still early so we decided to do another short hike. Cottonwood Trail is extremely easy as it’s all one level and is on a board walk through the woods. We even saw two Rangers making repairs and they said it’s a constant job. Although wildcat ledge was rated very difficult we decided to attempt it as the steepest part only lasted .2 miles. It was definitely difficult as you had to climb up a very steep incline along the rocks. Once at the top it was a dirt path that went up and down through the woods. It did lead to rocky outcrop which overlooked the valley with the mountains in the background. The hardest part was probably coming back down the steep incline because we didn’t want to slide. After hiking we drove into the town of front Royal which is a charming little village and head pink and purple petunias lining the main street. We had a delicious lunch at a brewery/Café called pavement. It was a renovated gas station and we could smell the meat cooking outside . Scotty had brisket and sausage with some sides and I had a large salad with some Mexican roasted corn. We also had a honey wheat wheat beer that was delicious.
