Another somewhat impromptu hike. This is one of our favorite local spots and this will likely be a monthly repeat all year long.
1.5-2 miles
Moderate terrain (with some steep stair climbs)
Roughly 1.5 hours (lots of slowing down to look and relax and chat with friends on the trail)
45 degrees
Sunny but mostly shaded on the forest paths
Hiking buddies: Lola and Luke
Rushing water, muddy trail, tangled roots, lush moss, green ferns, lost Lola, found Lola, cool forest, blue skies, white clouds, surprise friends, dead leaves, 3-leaf clovers, wooden bridges, stone steps, hiking buddies, reading break.
Fun.
Gorgeous.
Satisfying.
