Get outside. Walks in the woods.

in #nature6 years ago (edited)

It's finally warm outside and we have been taking a lot of walks. It's been raining a lot but if you are ok with your feet getting wet you've got the trails to yourself.

In honor of the warm weather, I bring you some hiking trail related photos for your enjoyment.

Most cities have some sort of a park system. I implore you to go to a park, maybe one you have never been to and take a walk. Really explore and see what there is to see, you might be surprised at the beauty that's there.

The boardwalk trail and Wildwood Metropark in Toledo. One of the most visited Metroparks in the area this boardwalk was built to enable people to hike this floodplain trail throughout the year. There is a deer hiding in this picture, can you see it?

Oak Openings

The Oak Openings is an area of oak savannah west of the city. It contains the largest Metropark, Oak Openings. Even though it is the biggest it's location away from the city makes it the least visited, great if you really want to get away from people for a bit.

I think this was taken in the yellow trail. This trail leads through some prairies and some pine trees. It's a good place to shoot some Downy Woodpeckers.

This is my favorite trail, the silver trail. It passes through the Oak trees, some pine forest and a large open area created by a tornado that passed through the area in 2010. Deer and woodpeckers are super easy to spot on this trail. The pine trees here were clearly planted but I do not know the story behind it.
