I grew up just a few miles down the road and used to love going to summer camp here until I was about 11 years old. Today I’m exploring a new area of the park.

I definitely should have worn my trail shoes. The trail and rocks were still wet and muddy, so I was sliding all over the place. I did remember to bring the mace along, since it was my first time in this area, and I was on a solo hike.

I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference”

I love boulder hopping

Trail number two

No cairns on these trails–just meandering up and down the rocks

Perhaps someone was celebrating their new flatscreen or had an Office Space moment??

I miss seeing these and trying to figure out what animals match these cute little paw prints. I’m always on the prowl for cougar prints:)

Opossum and raccoon prints are precious

Boring ol’ dog prints
