Today, on a rare mild July Sunday, Skye, riding her hybrid bike, Cameron & Holly & myself, walking the pups Wyatt & Three, ventured out to enjoy a section of the Tobacco Trail just outside Apex.
The trail is constructed over an old abandoned rail bed between New Hill & Durham.
Horses, walkers, dogs, and bikers are welcome.
It's a shady sandy walkway, pleasantly, comfortably, wide enough for 3+ walkers side by side or two large horses.
This afternoon we probably covered about 2 miles North (off Wimberly Road) and then back again (approximately 1 & 1/2 hours), but the overall distance of the trail from end to end extends more than 22 miles.
Along the way I ran into a sweet friend so that was an added treat:)
I would certainly recommend this trail to any walker or biker or families biking with young kids. It is fairly rural so I would suggest exploring with a friend or two. Do bring water (and dogie bags if your dog friend is in tow) plus a cell phone in case of an emergency.
So if you're yearning to breathe in some fresh air and get some exercise, go explore one of our local 'gems', the American Tobacco Trail.
