We will meet at the lake parking lot and walk along the lake using a connector trail to take us to the Wolf Rock Trail to Cook’s Wall. Coming back we will connect to the Moore’s Wall Loop via the the Magnolia Springs connector and have lunch at the Tower. Since we will be hiking on a surface of gravel/dirt/rock with some uneven steps, poles are recommended.
