This was my first real attempt at Horton Springs. I brought the dog so I was not planning on making it completely to the springs. There was more solitude on this hike than expected. I maybe saw 5 other people on a weekend afternoon. The trail was hard to follow as many side trails take you off to the creek. I will need to read up on this area before I try again. Overall, the smell of all the various forest pine and the cool water on the feet made the trip an A+.
