We did the Cartecay River Loop Trail hike and it was great! 3.2 mile loop through beautiful wildflowers, with half of the hike running alongside the Cartecay River. Did this hike with 2 toddlers so it took some time :)
Use the AllTrails App to stay on the track, or just "stay left" and you'll be good!
