Cap Sauers Hike from Horsetail Lake - 5 miles or more

We'll start at Horsetail Lake and then head west and north on the Yellow trail until we reach the Green that heads west into the Cap Sauers Nature Preserve. As this part is out-and-back we'll explore as far as we want then head back. Those that want an extended hike (probably not me!) can continue further around to the east on the Yellow, there are many options. A nice scenic hike with a couple manageable hills, always a crowd pleaser.
