Late October trip so the fall colors were gone. Would be pretty when colors were at the peak. This is an easy out and back. Quite a bit of beaver activity as I saw a number of dams along the stream that the trail parallels. It was a cloudy date with light sleet falling so no problems with the temperature. The first mile or so is completely un-shaded so would be hot in the summer. Was looking for a hike that I could do relatively quickly and keep my heart rate in the aerobic fat burning zone. Perfect trail for that.

Temple Sawmill Trail
This is an easy out and back. I took this on a cloudy day in late October with light sleet falling. The first mile or so is not shaded so would be quite hot in the summer. There was a lot of beaver dams along the stream that parallels the hike the entire way. Most of the fall colors were gone so was not the most scenic hike. Would be pretty during the fall color peak though. Will probably be a trail I run some in the spring.
