Village Trail (Yellow Triangle).
This half-kilometer connector runs through the village area, marked by yellow triangles and suitable for casual walking in street shoes. At roughly 0.3 miles, it's brief enough for a quick leg-stretch between other activities. The yellow triangle blazing distinguishes it from other local routes sharing the same trail network.
