Today’s hiking adventure began at Moir Park.

What a beautiful morning for a hike! The birds were singing, the sun was shining, and everywhere we looked we saw signs of spring.

We followed along the trail next to Nine Mile Creek.

There were lots of bridges along the trail. We crossed over Nine Mile Creek many times.

Many people and their dogs were out enjoying the morning as well.

I absolutely love spring!

We continued along the trail.

This duck was huge!

Today’s hiking adventure was at Lilydale Regional Park.

Minnesota was hit with lots of snow this past week. Thankfully, we have had some warmer temperatures so most of the snow has melted. With that said, we wanted to hike a paved trail. Lilydale trail was perfect!

Pickerel Lake had several geese enjoying the rising sun.

Old and new train tracks could be seen alongside the Mississippi River.

Mississippi River and Downtown St. Paul in the near distance.

Hiking under the High Bridge/Smith Ave.

One of the poles on the dock had writing on it. I zoomed in to see if I could read what was written on it. It has water levels going back to 2013.

We hiked through Harriet Island Regional Park towards Raspberry Island.

We looped back to our starting point.

Today’s hiking adventure was 7.8 miles.
