Great autumn ridgewalk
Hiked point to point from Cox Rd trailhead down to Buttermilk Falls on Lewis Rd, about 5 miles along the LP and woods roads. Amazing views of the valley and of cliffs of Bear Hill Preserve. Trails all in great condition. The junction between the LP and the northern connector trail is NOT WELL MARKED, so be aware. Buttermilk falls and the lead mine are well worth it.
