America’s Best, Beautiful Winter Hikes
Page 2 of 4
The Cumberland Trail is incomplete at press time. It will be 282 miles upon its official completion. It will traverse the state from north to south.
You can get a feel for the trail this winter when the fair-weather hikers tend to avoid the park. If you can spend an entire day here, hit the nine-and-a-half-mile Possum Creek portion. Take in the sights of the nearby picturesque, wooded creek, and wonderful waterfalls as well.
4.The Cape Falcon Trail, Oswald West State Park, Oregon
The favored Cape Falcon Trail is about five miles in length. If you make it up to the 100-foot awesome outcropping halfway through your day, you might be able to see a pod of gray whales. Just be sure to pack your binoculars and watch the winter waters for the whales’ telltale spray.
The best time to spot them is in the months of December and January. That’s when the whales are migrating from the icy Bering Sea to beautiful Baja. Pack a sweatshirt to keep you warm and extra snacks to help you make the hike back later.
