Name: Frady Branch Trail Loop
Distance: 6.5
Difficulty: Easy to Moderate
Total Climbing Elevation: 741
Type: Loop
Notes: Today's weather was a nice change with mild 50 to mid-60's temperatures and cloudy skies turning to sunny by the end of the hike. This hike took us on a range of trail types, soft pine beds, leaf covered, slightly mushy horse trails, creek bottoms, forest service roads and a rocky climb toward the end. Overall the trails were in good condition. With no wildflowers to focus on, we passed by a couple of notable large granite rock formations in addition to checking out the old rock wall dam and Staircase Falls near the start of our descent on the Frady Branch Trail. As seen in the past, there was not much flow in this unnamed branch of Mill Creek and we did not venture down the steep embankments to the bottom of these features. Nevertheless, this was a very pleasant early winter day and last hike of the year. Today's Hikers: Bobbie Broussard, Kim Johnson, Heather Wall & Toby, Lynn Steele, Jenny Bell, Matt Henderson & Toby, John Cape & Mike Bell.
