Morning Hike: American Bison @ Genesee Park
Details
Weather Dependent
Going to do a short hike with my kid. It is a kid friendly hike and hopefully we'll see the bison herd out and about. I selected the shorter of the two easier hikes at Genesee. If people wany to do the 3.5 mile loop I can be convinced. I will be the person with a small child strapped to my back.
Distance: 2 miles
Elevation: 252 feet
Time to Complete: 1 hour

All Trails Description
The American Bison Trail in Genesee Park is one of the shortest loops on the property, but it is still packed with views. With a few rolling hills and off-and-on shade, it is a great trail for almost everyone in the family. Numerous other trails can be used to extend your trek and add different viewpoints.
