Scout Road.
A 0.4-mile unpaved path near Twin Lakes, good for when you need to move but don't want to commit. The short distance makes it right for a post-lunch walk or an evening stretch with kids who won't last on anything longer. Call it a leg-stretcher, not a hike.
- Leg-stretcherShort and nearly flat — an hour or less
- Peak foliage window — color starts up high and works down the valleys through mid-October.
