Comments: In addition to the Spice Wood Springs Trail I hiked the connecting trail between it and the Upper Gorman Creek Trail. By then I was ready to turn back and head home. Though the trail does parallel the park's dirt road for much of the way it's often distant enough and the traffic light enough that it's not an issue. It's flatter than the Spice Wood Springs Trail with some more Sun exposure. Saw two people at the end of the trail (near the loops to the west) but saw about 4 Armadillos on the way.
