Mason Tract Pathway

Reviewed By E2719SFkellyb - Lexington, United States

Just hiked the Mason Tract trail that is called Thayer Loop - about 7.2 miles I believe. It was absolutely stunning scenery and a lovely, well-marked and maintained trail. However, we were very surprised to find hunters alive the way. We passed three groups of men with rifles. I questioned them and they said “it’s public lands.” We were both wearing bright colors so we carried on and made sure to shout when we heard gunshots. Very unnerving however. I would have expected to see a sign at the trailhead warning of hunting season or something.
