Palos Trails hike from Hidden Pond Woods, 4 Miles or more

This hike begins at Hidden Pond Woods West which is a bit tricky to find so check the map beforehand - it must be entered from northbound LaGrange Rd. We'll start south on the brown trail then circle back north on the yellow and orange trails. Nice trail, mostly crushed stone I think, wooded, not tough but some hills. Believe it's around 4 miles. For anyone interested, there's an option for an extension on the orange and yellow that add a couple more miles (which I will probably do, but likely that someone else will lead those who wish to go back sooner).

The beginning part of the trail is sometimes muddy but the rest should be okay - so be prepared just in case!
