Wonderful day trip
Very dog friendly location. No poop bags but lots of trash cans near the trail heads. Restrooms for the humans too!

Excellent walks
Carl Sandburg’s home has been situated near twin ponds & midway up Glassy Mountain. Principal walk winds up to the wind scoured top of the mountain, so called because in winter it’s granite top glitters in the sun. The walk itself is protected by forest. Nearer trails go to Sandburg’s home &, nearby, the goat farm, where the descendants of his wife’s price winning milking goats still play.
Excellent half-day diversion.
