Would love to hear thoughts on The Hook Natural Area (and other recommendations around R.B. Winter SP)
Hello!
I've got a few days of camping with my family planned at R.B. Winter State Park and I'm looking forward to slipping away one morning to hike into The Hook Natural Area. Besides a blog post by the Purple Lizard folks and some general overviews/history stuff, I can't find much information or pictures around on The Hook, so I am just hoping to hear what people think about hiking there, if there are any "must sees" and any "avoids," see some inspiration if anyone has any photos they'd like to share, and such.
I've got my Purple Lizard map and my current intention is wandering up Mule Shanty Trail and Buffalo Creek, probably until I'm ready to turn around, but possibly turning into a loop back to the state park on Buffalo Path.
I'd also love to hear suggestions on other places to wander from the state park - I prefer to stay out of my car as much as possible when I'm on a camping trip, but feel free to try selling me on a drive - maybe we can try to make a car-trip naptime happen!
