Just FYI, we listed Fairfax as moderate because it involves a lot more bushwhacking, as there isn't much in the way of defined trails once you walk to the bottom of the road. :)Jerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373862571150138613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148308556895660080.post-47363186527069159062012-06-09T16:08:42.977-07:002012-06-09T16:08:42.977-07:00Went there today (6/9/2012).

We have a 3 1/2 year old, and after a bit of coaxing and some amazing help from my wife, we made it out all right. The trail is in good condition - just muddy. There are Inches of mud at times. It was a fun morning hike, and we plan to visit Fairfax in the future.Iannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148308556895660080.post-61245272765699915582012-03-18T11:04:21.839-07:002012-03-18T11:04:21.839-07:00Hi Pam, Fantastic trip report!

Well done on getting out there.Jerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373862571150138613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148308556895660080.post-87109287035425916582012-03-17T19:58:57.234-07:002012-03-17T19:58:57.234-07:00I'm so glad I found your site.

Didn't see a (living) soul all day. ;)<br /><br />Btw, Wilkeson is a very interesting town - informative historical marker, cool old buildings, friendly folks. Makes a nice stop along the way.ewbnoreply@blogger.com
