Hiking at Wild Magnolia
Posted in: Articles, Inspiration, Projects
Wild Magnolia has designated hiking trails marked and maintained through major areas of the property. These lead to areas of unique ecological significance, through forests of huge umbrella magnolia trees, past historic cabin ruins, and to a sparkling clear swimming area.
“Rainbow Road” leads from Cave Mountain Road to the Wild Magnolia property.
At the gate Rainbow Road becomes Ixchel Trail, named for the Maya goddess whose name means ‘Lady Rainbow.’
Branching from Ixchel Trail is Beech Creek Trail, which leads to the crystalline waters of the swimming area on Beech Creek.
Between Beech Creek Trail and Ixchel Trail is a side trail leading through the remains of La Salsa, a small community in the Back-to-the-Land movement of the 1960′s and 1970′s.

Ixchel trail leads finally to the ‘Fairy Pond,’ a unique wooded wetland said to be inhabited by fairies.

New trail signs for Wild Magnolia Land Trust
Posted in: Events, Home, Projects
Trails at Wild Magnolia are now marked with newly made trail signs. Ixchel Trail is marked from the clearing, with the distance indicated to Fairy Pond. Where Beech Creek Trail branches from Ixchel Trail a sign notes the distance to the creek, and La Salsa Trail is marked at both ends, where it splits from Beech Creek Trail and from Ixchel Trail, also with distances indicated.
The signs with routed lettering are carved in eastern redcedar lumber, processed from a fallen tree, made and donated by volunteer Olin Karch. Vista volunteers Janis Walters and Steven Wilgus installed the new signs.
