Great Hiking!

This area has two trailheads, Fort Meade and Alkali Creek, as well as a horse camp near Alkali Creek, which is also a campground. Beware of the horse-friendly camping area...lots of flies! It's quiet and clean, that's something that I can really appreciate. 

The only drawback is that the trails aren't well marked so that's not for everyone.
