Old Quarry trail is best hiked clockwise starting from the outhouses (it’s easier to follow the trail signs I find). Walking through the mostly red pine forest, you can do a full 5.5 km loop hiking trail 23 way points in this sequence trailhead, A, C, D, E, G, H, D, C, B, trailhead. Don’t worry, it’s easy enough to follow and there are map at the way points. I know, you might think, hey now, why don’t you post a picture of the trail map?! Well, in a word, copyright. And secondly, trail maps change when land managers need to give certain sections a break from overuse/overexposure from us humans. So it’s always best to get your trail map straight from the source, which in this case is the NCC. The trail is well maintained, aaaaaand wide enough to pass each other and still maintain physical distancing for the pandemic. #winning
