Route: Standard route from my house in Mill Creek South subdivision: North on Avon Street Ext., right on Mill Creek Drive, left on Middlebrook Ln. just past Monticello High School, through the clump of trees onto Willow Lake Dr., and then through the gate on Hwy. 20 into the meadow behind the Monticello Trail. From there, a few loops on the singletrack up the flank of Carter Mt. and then back home (11.25 miles total)

The trail near the top of Carter Mt., just under the orchard.
