Soldiers Delight Serpentine Trail

I have only done this hike a couple of times, so it might be a bit of an adventure (aka, we could make a wrong turn or two lol)...it is a rocky hike through some of the most unique ecosystems on the East coast. It will be between 6-7 miles in total.

Soldiers Delight Natural Environment Area (NEA) is comprised of 1,900 acres of serpentine barren. The area has over 39 rare, threatened, or endangered plant species as well as rare insects, rocks and minerals. There are seven miles of marked hiking trails. Equestrians and cyclists are prohibited due to the sensitive nature of the area.
Rare grassland plant species are threatened by invasion of Virginia Pines. Currently, a five-year effort of removing 1,000 acres of pines and prescribed burning is underway to return the area to natural serpentine habitat.
