Notch Trail is on the south end of the Door Trail car park.The Trail sorta follows a dry river bed but there is also a actual trail you can also follow. It winds through the gulch and about half a mile or so you come to a 50 foot ladder. The ladder is a pretty easy climb up but can be a little more difficult on the way down. Beyond the ladder is a bit about 50 yards or so the trail gets very cl...

The Harney Peak Trailhead #9 is located in the northwest corner of the parking lot just beyond Sylvan Lake.

In about 2.5 miles, you will reach a clearing with an overlook above Bean Lake.

The once rough trail has recently been redone by some Nepalese Sherpa and its much more tourist friendly.The hike takes you through the woods and as i mentioned ...

Take the train to Washington Park and hike through Hoyt Arboretum. This will bypass a few miles of Wildwood Trail, but you won't miss much. In the arboretum, the trail twists and turns through the trees, will smaller trails jutting off to the sides, through other groups of trees (each trail is aptly named for the type of respective tree). Continue on Wildwood and eventually, you will cross Bur...
