RLT Section 6 is an out and back. The trailhead is across 6th Line opposite the Pineridge intersection. We’ll follow the orange blazes through scrubby meadows and woodlands. The trail rises steeply to “Kong Hill” lookout. There is a beautiful panoramic view from the top. The trail descends into a coniferous plantation, then off the logging trail and through hardwoods with uneven rocky footing. It emerges onto the abandoned rail bed, turns right and winds through rocky terrain, eventually ending at Dublin Line, which is the turn-around spot (and time for a break and snack). Its varied scenery and habitat make Section 6 one of the most interesting and attractive of the Radial Line Trail.
Please pack water, snacks, wear warm hiking boots/shoes, hiking poles recommended and dress for the weather. No dogs please.
Required: Carry icers/crampons/micro spikes in your backpack for winter hikes.
Hike Leader: Marie Burland burlandmc@gmail.com
