South Mountain Reservation on **Saturday January 25 @ 9 AM**
**Hike Description** Generally considered an easy to moderate route. This is a popular trail for hiking and running, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. Turtle Back Trail provides breathtaking views. The trail starts by following William Lake's wooded shoreline before meandering over hills covered mostly with aspen and oak trees. Hikers ascend steeply to reach unobstructed view of the treetops.
