One of the most popular routes to take at Imagination Glen. This route hits nearly all of the trails on both the Front side and the Dark side. Note that this route is only available when the trails near the creek are dry. During the freeze / thaw cycle of Fall and early Spring (or after heavy rains), we recommend using one of the Faster Drying routes.
