Early Fall Foliage — no pumpkin spice required! The 59-acre Johnson-Clark Forest in [town name] features a 2-mile loop over forested Lewis Hill, leading to scenic views from an open ledge. This moderately challenging trail offers about 400 feet of elevation gain and includes a short, low-traffic road walk along Lewis Hill Road (with even more views) to complete the loop. It’s a perfect tune-up for the autumn hiking season.
