Cadillac Trail Reverse

This gallery (shot 12 November 2008) shows the same trail as the Cadillac Trail gallery. However, I start at the end numerically (by trail marker #79C) and work my way back to the beginning (near #1C). Hey, the trail looks different when you reverse direction. For our out of town visitors, Cadillac is not a one way trail. Take your pick of directions, just heads up, eh? We'll start at the Lafayette Heritage Park parking lot at trail marker #79C, follow East/Lower Cadillac Trail "lowside" first, exit back at the trailhead near #36C, cross the parking lot northwest to #35C, then all the way back to Tom Brown Park near #1C. This GPS track shows me starting at Tom Brown Park's Magnolia Trail parking area heading down through Cadillac Trail and back. I started this gallery taking fewer photos between trail markers. As I hit the more technical areas I took more snaps. In some of the more rooty sections of West/Upper Cadillac, I took a lot of shots. Didn't want to miss any of the features. March 2014 map of this park's trails. With a gallery full of shots, you may find it easier to navigate if you change the gallery "style" (top right) from "smugmug" to "all thumbs." Or "slideshow" or "filmstrip" or . . . you get the idea, it's configurable by you. I usually like "journal." Slideshow works awesome for this gallery.
