> The GREAT TREE HIKE
> Orange is the fashion color in season.
> This hike is in the Tyler Mill Open Space Area, on the other side of the
> Muddy River from the Morris Rock Vista Hike . On this hike there are many
> lovely GREAT TREES, It is a hike for all seasons. Spring finds the land
> painted creamy white with Dutchman's Britches and other wildflowers.
Summer
> finds the hawks soaring with children's kites. Bikers and horses also use
> the trails. Winter snows bring out the snowshoes and cross country skis.
> Begin the hike by walking west on the paved road and notice the first
GREAT
> TREES are the sugar maples on your right. Off on the left is the Muddy
River
> that bisects the Tyler Mill Open Space.
> Soon a trap rock ridge becomes evident on your right.. Watch for a heap of
> pavement on the right opposite a small cleared parking space. This is the
> start of the blue trail and a blue blaze is faintly showing on a hunk of
> pavement in the pile. Turn right into the woods and begin a gentle climb
> into a hemlock grove. Cross over an unmarked path and continue on the blue
> trail, dipping down and coming to a 'Y' intersection with a red trail.
There
> is a GREAT three sister OAK TREE at the intersection on your right. Turn
> left continuing on the blue trail that has now joined up with the red.
> Proceed up hill twisting and turning through a Cedar grove coming out of
the
> grove as the Red trail meets another trail going right into a field. At
this
> intersection, turn back into the woods going left uphill on the red blazed
> trail. Soon two more GREAT TREES come into view. Notice the GREAT BEECH
TREE
> on your left and the GREAT sugar MAPLE TREE on your right. The best is yet
> to come !! Climb a short steep hill traveled by many bikers, and at the
top
> pass by an unmarked trail on your right . Now notice several GREAT TREES
on
> your left, but the GREAT WOLF BEECH TREE on the left is the one to find.
> Take time to look at this 'living' Totem Pole and think of all it has
seen.
> According to the Park Nature Book, the many 'babies' around this Wolf tree
> have not grown from seeds, but are true clones coming up from the GREAT
> Tree's roots. Stand with your back to the Wolf Tree and take a reading of
> 320 degrees. Follow that about 10 feet off trail to a Cedar tree. the
GREAT
> WOLF TREE letterbox treasure is there. Stamp in and carefully seal and
hide
> again.
> Return back to the Red trail and retrace back about 50 feet to the
unmarked
> trail now on your left. It is well traveled and goes up in a NE direction
,
> soon going steeply down. At the bottom of the hill watch carefully and
turn
> right [east] onto an unmarked trail --just before a white blazed trail.
On
> this unmarked trail notice a field is on your left. Soon the trail crossed

> The trail curves right and then crosses the stone wall again. go right
about
> six big steps along the wall and find the Trap Rock Hill Letterbox in a
rock
> hole along the side of the wall covered by a rock with a "handle" Stamp in
> and place the box carefully back. Continue up hill through the woods and
> meet up with the Red trail again. Turn left, east, and soon notice your
old
> friends the GREAT TREES , now on opposite sides of the trail !! When the
Red

> field. Enjoy the views of the soccer fields below and a great place to fly
> kites. Look for the Go Fly A Kite Letter box by walking left into the
field
> and left along the woods about 22 paces to large quartz rock. The Treasure
> is south of the bolder at the feet of a GREAT PINE TREE . Stamp in and
> carefully return the box to it's hiding place. Return to the Red/Blue
Trail
