Today’s hiking adventure was at Seven Mile Creek Park.

Our hike began on Trail 3 near the entrance of the park. Beautiful fall colors lay atop of the sandstone bluff. The maps posted at the park had seen better days.

The trail led us up and down the rolling hills, so many of the leaves had already fallen.

Fall is such a magical time of the year. The way the sun catches the colors of the leaves is breathtaking.

These were the only mushrooms we found at the park! Maybe the others were hiding under all the leaves.

We crossed over Seven Mile Creek and hiked Trail 8.

The following are some of my favorite photos from today.

The trail looped us back towards the beginning of the park. We hiked between Seven Mile Creek and the sandstone bluffs.

The sun felt wonderful as we hiked across the ball field.

We followed the trail under Highway 169.

The Minnesota River

We didn’t hike the trails on this side of the highway due to hearing a few gun shots. Most likely from duck hunters on their property which was nearby. We decided to head back to our starting point. I snapped a few photos of the colorful tree line before crossing back under the highway.

Today’s hiking adventure was 6 miles.
