Hercules Glades Wilderness (3/11/11 - 3/15/11)

The Hercules Glades Wilderness is a 12,315 acre area located in the Ava District of Mark Twain National Forest. Eastern redcedar and oak trees are abundant and mixed with areas of open glades with tall prairie grasses. Our time in the Hercules Glades Wilderness was short but productive. We completed surveys of two trails: Blair Ridge (2.74 miles) and Pees Hollow (5.53 miles) for a total of 8.27 miles of trail. We have now moved on to the Rolla District and begun surveys of the Kaintuck Hollow trails. Stay tuned for our next update.
