Spring has sprung and the trail is waiting! We continue our trek on the Horse Shoe Trail. This is a shuttle hike. It will start out as a moderate hike and then turn easy. Hopefully Mother Nature will give us a great Spring day for a 7 -8 mile walk in the woods. Our goal is just outside of Mt. Gretna where we will have the opportunity to have a late lunch. Bring water and snacks.
