Big Rock trail is one of my favorite hikes in DuPont State Forest because it’s open and SUNNY! The thick sprawl of trees that covers so much of the eastern United States is wonderful and life-giving, but when I’m out hiking I sure appreciate the open sky above me with the sun on my skin, as opposed to being always beneath a canopy of branches and leaves and their unavoidable shade–though a nice respite on hotter days.
