I feel like I've found a good loop at Wildcat, but as a result I'm always doing the same thing when I go there.
Here's the route: Park by Bat Cave, Beach Glen Trail (blue) south, then up the switchbacks and all the way out to Meriden Rd. Take the road over to Righter Mine trail (green). Follow Righter Mine all the way up along the brook and stay with unmarked right up to the dam. Climb up to the road and cross the dam to catch Wildcat Ridge trail (yellow). Follow that to and then parallel w/Upper Hibernia Rd. Go up the road to Hawk Watch. Then down Hibernia Brook Trail (orange), then turn right onto Four Birds (white), cut across past the cemetery, back out to orange all the way back to parking. This is about 11.5 miles, somewhere around 2.5 hours.
Anybody got a suggestion of another loop that flows pretty well like this one, so I can mix it up next time I'm there?
