Mountain Laurels on the Duval
Posted By auntie on June 19, 2015

6.2 miles; s. kingstown, ri
so i decided to go back and do the entire hike we had originally planned to do on june 10. besides hoping the laurel blossoms hadn’t passed, i just needed to shake the dust off, and duval is good for working up a sweat. also, the laurels were ALLLLLMOST there today. so close.
the best places to find laurels on this trail system are, well, the whole trail system. there are some spectacular stands right off the red-blazed polly’s rock loop trail, but really, they’re everywhere.
so really, if you’re reading this close to the posting date, you still have a chance to experience a dazzling display of mountain laurels at maximum bloom. i’d say they’re only a day or two from peak. get out there!
you can find the duval trail in the hikefinder. trailhead, Auntie’s trail map.
