Starting from the Mills Ridge Trailhead, I led a group of nine (counting myself) to a point nearly 5 miles out where we got good views of Theodore Roosevelt Lake and dam. Expansive views are available along the entire length and route finding was easy.

The only slightly tricky spot was when we got to FS Road 336. The sign there indicates that you should turn left, following the road, and that is correct. However, there appears to be a continuation of the trail across the road, which is not correct. The trail follows the road for approximately 0.15 miles before becoming trail again. It's well marked with signs at both intersections.

We saw many wildflowers on this hike - I took more photos than normal.
