I walked UXO trail around Lake Yahou. It was a strenuous hike for me because of all the switchback trails going up and down the two hills. It’s was still fun and the fall foliage was beautiful. Probably an easy hike for young hikers. I’m 67 and a rookie hiker.

Such a beautiful place. It would be peaceful if you couldn't hear the highway.
