Since trick or treating isn't just for kids, we encourage you to dress up, if you dare, and come with some candy you’d like to share with your fellow hikers as we traverse the trails of the CMA. From ethereal haunting calls to howling - and that's just the owls and coyotes - who knows what we will encounter? This is an easy, 2–3-mile hike across boardwalks and flat trails.
