Relevant portion of the park trail map. Started at the Hunting Hollow trailhead in the southwest corner of the map. Followed route similar to Bob Burd's 2001 trip. His pictures and excellent trip report can be found here. 05/05/2003 11:21 AM

Stream crossing of Hunting Hollow creek about 50 yards into the trail. Managed to get across this crossing (and the 4 to follow without getting my feet wet, though the wet grass on the ridges quickly had my feet soaked anyway)

First trail junction, leaving the Hunting Hollow trail for the Lyman Wilson Ridge Road. This was also the first hill, gaining about a 1000ft in a mile. The trail, like most in the park, has no switchbacks and climbs directly up and over the ridges in a straight line.

There were some cattle grazing on the hillside along this portion of the trail, and gates at the beginning and end to keep them from wandering off.

View back down the trail to the Hunting Hollow valley. Pretty typical of the views in this portion of the park.

One of the many ponds created by the recent rains. Note that the trail at this point is now going through knee high grass. The grass was wet from last nights rain and got my feet pretty well soaked.
