Running Back in Time on Lime Kiln Trail

I had the day off and was debating on whether I would head for the snow, or stick to the lowlands for a hike/run. I opted for a lowland trail-run and I discovered a great surprise in the Lime Kiln Trail outside of Granite Falls. The weather was perfect and this is a peaceful trail that is mostly flat making for a relatively easy hike or run (7 miles round-trip).

If you enjoy local history, this hike is one you'll definitely enjoy. I was found a pair of miner boots, old saw blades, a towering lime kiln, shards of china, and much more! (see my photos)All of these artifacts are scattered along the trail.

If you enjoy geocaching, it is worth noting that there are six caches along this trail.
