I went up to VCP yesterday to finish removing wineberry from my trail section* and also to get in one, let's say two, more trails in.
The Bridle Trail is a trail I've been on many times; a few years ago, we did quite a bit of work at the north end, removing mugwort and other invasives and planting trees. But it's another trail that I rarely walk the length of, particularly the lower section connecting to the Parade Ground.
Like it says on the tin, it's a wide, flat trail, suitable for horses. One of the neater features is this roadcut. However, if you're going to paint over graffiti, use paint that matches the rock. Otherwise, you might as well leave the graffiti.
The 21 in 21 Challenge also requires you to hike at least 1.4 miles of your choice of trail, so I decided to use yesterday's walk on the John Muir and my loop as my "hiker's choice."
* Yes, I realize you can't eradicate it in one season. Also, I'm working near the trail, and therefore possibly missing thickets elsewhere. But let's say that any wineberry visible from the trail has been pulled up, for now.
