The trail is well-maintained with a few muddy patches left from wetter days. No obstructions.
An 8:15 meet time at the trailhead assured us plenty of places to park and a peaceful hike in the woods. We did not run into many people on the way up but more on the way back, including an overflowing parking lot. Margaret's Way is s lovely hike with moderate grade through the woods. No real viewpoints on this route as its terminus is actually where several routes intersect. An attempt to find Debbie's Viewpoint wasn't successful on the first try (cryptic signage) and the beautiful day beckoned us back to our cars so that we could proceed with our post-hike plans. As advertised, the shortish hike was meant to jumpstart the day. Great group of hikers! 😎
Total mileage: 6.75 miles; 1,700 elevation gain; just shy of 3 hours round trip.
