Leif Erickson Trail off Germantown Rd in Forest Park - Approximately 10 miles
I went hiking with a new friend in Forest Park. We started at Germantown Road on Leif Erickson Trail. It is a very nice hike. Leif Erickson Drive is a well maintained road/trail (closed to motor vehicles now) that winds through Forest Park. There are very steep hills that boarder the road. They are all covered with mossy trees and lots of beautiful ferns.
My friend likes to geocache as told me that there are a couple of vehicles that drove off Leif Erickson Drive back in the 70s that are still there. One day she wants to go back to get the geocache that is in one of the cars. We were able to see one of the cars from the trail. It looks like it would be quite an adventure to hike down to get it. "I'm game".
It was a beautiful day with gorgeous fall colors to look at. This hike would be good for bikes, strollers or even a tough wheel chair. We went out about 5 miles when the road runs into the Saltzman Road trail before returning back to Germantown road. Good hike with good company!
