Hiking the Wilson River Trail

“It’s been a mixed bag to say the least. Starting with the positives: the weather has been phenomenal, highs in the eighty’s and nights hovering around sixty-five. Perfect for sleeping. And we haven’t seen or felt a single mosquito. The trail is gradual but challenging and ends at the river each night making it easy to bathe. The negatives: The campgrounds are public. No vacancy across the board. Not to mention there’s a strange and unwelcome juxtaposition from quiet trail time to rowdy river party, at least in my opinion. However, falling somewhere on the positive end of the spectrum, we’ve benefited each night from dumb luck and/or the kindness of strangers. Our campsites have been better than any we could’ve paid for. I guess overall we’ll call it a toss up. 7/10 for the wilson river trail.”
