I don't think it's difficult.
Parking - Ballfield (Chimney Rock Rd), Gilbride, or Newmans. Most would park at the Ballfield as it's the biggest and kinda central. Park at Gilbride if you want to get to Cromwell and Hawk Watch.
Think of it as color sections instead of individual trails:
Blue trails are west of Newmans
Red trails are south of the reservoir
White trails are north of the reservoir
Orange trails are between Chimney Rock Rd and Gilbride
Yellow trails are south of Gilbride and gets you to the Hawk Watch/Chimney Rock
Black goes from Gilbride to Cromwell
Cromwell is east of Vossller (don't go up the down
🙂)
Road crossings - Red/White to Blue =
Newmans, Red/White to Orange =
Chimney Rock, Black to Cromwell =
Vossller & Brookside, Ballfields area/Black to Orange/Yellow is
Gilbride.
Yes, there's a bunch of interconnections, but I think it's simpler than Allaire
Hardest trail is train simulator/yelllow south of Gilbride along the east side of the creek. Next is Orange river south of Gilbride along the west side of the creek.
Most fun is going to be Cromwell on the east side.
