Humans may have built the road, but it is very clear that the forest owns this space and the humans are only visiting.

May this be the year you look back upon and realize you have lived an entire lifetime within it... ~ Brianna Wiest

"I had not been on a trail in over a month and when I passed the threshold into the meadow it was as if Mother Nature herself enveloped me and said, 'Welcome home.'"

This week I found a few bridges and a waterfall, and realized that humidity is not my friend.

This easy, flat hike led us through the forest, across a bridge, around an island, and provided stunning views and something that looked like a giant Root Beer Float.

We took a trip down memory lane and ended up at a roadside stream, crossing a ferry, and reminiscing at a little river where I used to catch crayfish.

This super easy hike keeps you in the shade with the river rushing along beside you while you meander through the forest.

An easy hike on a rainy day where we found mossy trees, lacy lichen, grass growing in the middle of the river, and a glassy pool surrounded by silence.

A gorgeous hike on an old dirt road that leads to the ruins of a resort built in 1887 and a beautiful waterfall.

We walked along a wooden path along a lazy river, through a forest of birch trees, and emerged in a field of gold surrounded by gorgeous mountain views.

This trail allows hikers to get right down to river level and wade in the water.

An easy loop with varying landscapes on each side and two bridges that cross over the creek. A troll just might live under one of them!

An easy, lush trail leaving you feeling like you might have just walked through Pixie Hollow.
