Barbara Martin led a hike on the Turk Mountain Loop, which included gorgeous views from Turk Mountain and walking beside the Moorman River. We had a first time PATC hiker, Taylor Putney and long time hiker Marian Styles and met Claire Cline, Kim Botcher and Patrick Cory at Jarman Gap. We proceeded to work off some turkey and pumpkin pie by climbing along the AT to the Turk Mountain Trail. After a clambering over a few rocks we reached the summit of Turk Mountain for a relaxed lunch with home made cookies from Barbara. We wound our way back to Skyline Drive and took the Turk Branch Trail to the Moorman River fire road. Several stream crossings were worth it with pretty views and the soothing sounds of the river flowing over rocks.
