Keep following the Orange Trail not getting sidetracked by the Silver Trail. At the Yellow Trail junction stay left and follow it to the Blue Trail, also staying left. Pass the main Visitors Center and continue on the Orange Trail, skipping the Red, Green and Purple junctions. Use the shoulder on the road to cross the bridge and back following the Orange Trail. Veer to the Left again at the Pink Trail junction, using it to go to the pond and through the last wooded section back to the parking lot.
