Discovering your Backyard · May 26 by Kurt Peterson
With most of us watching the price at the pump with a wary eye, I think I can speak for many of us out there when I say that now is a great time to explore what’s in your own backyard, city, or state.
I woke Sunday after a friend’s wedding in Greensboro, NC with the overwhelming desire to go stomping out on some of the great trails in my old stomping grounds. Grabbing my lady, my dogs, and my pack, we all set out for an early morning hike on the Owl’s Roost Trail in Greensboro.
Known as one of the best urban mountain bike trails in the country, I’ve run, biked, and hiked the trail over 100 times, but after moving to Charlottesville, VA I began to miss this fantastic trail that used to be just a few miles from my front door. And getting out there again on that beautiful bluebird Sunday was just as much fun as it always has been.
If you’ve got a favorite local trail, let us know, we’re eager to hear of our reader’s favorites. We might just make it worth your while . . .
