Bandersnatch Loop Hike

Overview

A real network of trails fans out above Ashland’s Lithia Park offering hikers, equestrians, and mountain bikers room to navigate the wooded slopes above the various branches of Ashland and Clay creeks. This hike connects the hiker-only Bandersnatch Trail with short sections of multi-user trails to reach a ridge crest and fashion a short lollipop loop. “Bandersnatch” is a nonsense creature briefly mentioned in Lewis Carroll’s poem Jabberwocky (in Through the Looking Glass ), but then is given a more dreadful role in the poem The Hunting of the Snark . Most of the other trails in this network also carry names associated with the Alice in Wonderland theme, and those associated with the banking industry may want to avoid Bandersnatch:
