Tabor Mountain — Birchleg Trail

From the rail-car parking area, pass the kiosk and gate and follow the Birchleg direction. At the first fork take the right branch toward Hickory Wing Shelter and the history shed. Go east/left from the shed about 100 m to a mapped junction, then keep right for Birchleg. The source's smaller loop keeps right at Birchleg/Sawdust Shelter, right toward Ilse's Inn, right again after that shelter, then right/north onto Hickory Wing. A final right/east turn returns to the start. Junction maps describe additional loops.
