The most common track found in the area is the gray squirrel track. They can be seen clearly traveling over and under logs from tree to tree where the tracks disapear then start again on the other side of the tree trunk. The squirrels are looking for food sources to keep them going through the winter. A set of what looked like porcupine tracks crossed along the trail and went down the hill towards a grove of hemlock trees although the tracks were difficult to decipher. I believe they were porcupine tracks because hemlock is a known food source of the porcupine in winter months.
