  • Description: Mostly downhill one-way; easy.
  • Total Mileage: 7.4 miles (loop)
  • Time Table:  Departure: 9:35; Exit time: 12:25
     Parking to Campsite 2: 45 minutes. To Buchanan Cemetery 1 hour.
  • Points of Interest: Buchanan Cemetery, sandy/muddy areas to check for tracks.
  • Wildlife: Bear Scat on Cane Creek Tr. past Buchanan Cemetery; numerous bear tracks. Owl feather. Juvenile Southern Toad.
