camp path (blue blazes).
A 0.4-mile blue-blazed path on natural ground, built for quick access between camp and wherever you're headed. The surface is easy underfoot and the distance is short enough that you won't think twice about walking it twice in an evening. It's a connector, not a destination, and it does that job without fuss.
- Leg-stretcherShort and nearly flat — an hour or less
- Stick season — bare woods, long views, and icy patches on shaded stretches. Microspikes are cheap insurance.
