It was a quiet morning as dawn was breaking over the horizon, sunlight just barely peeking through the clouds when I pulled up to one of my favorite sights: an empty trailhead.
Granted, it was a Wednesday, but on a busy weekend, this was a far cry from what you’d expect to see at one of Central Florida’s more popular hiking destinations, such as Little Big Econ State Forest. The venue for my morning jaunt through the woods was Charles H. Bronson State Forest, a true hidden gem among Orlando-area wildlands.
