Lumber Ridge

This walk began out of "The Institute" (Tremont), parking area and involved the Lumber Ridge trail, covering about 2 miles of the 4.1 to the intersection w/ Meigs creek and Meigs Mountain trails. The walk starts out with an incline right out of the parking lot at Tremont and continues to climb for the next 3mls. or so. The incline is not always steep it's just consistent. It can be tough depending on your pace and/or health. At this time of year there are some great views which begin less than a mile into the walk and this section also involves the steepest grades. It is a walk that is most enjoyable for me when I can extend it, reverse the direction and make it a one-way hike from the Sinks at Meigs creek trail and ending at Tremont. A direction and route I've covered a couple of times (1/09).
