Today’s hiking adventure was at Quarry Hill Park.
We began our rainy day hike by the Quarry Hill Nature Center.
We hiked the paved trail past Harry L. Buck Children’s Pond.
There are a variety of trails to choose from at this park. Due to the rain it was a bit muddy and slick in places.
The fragrant wildflowers and blossoming trees captivated our senses.
Four deer appeared right next to where we were on the trail. With all the new growth it was hard to see them.
The trail had been nice and wide until we crossed over the creek.
We hiked the narrow trails through the forest area. Nature’s soundtrack was on point today. The birds were singing, the squirrels were playing, and the sounds of rain pitter pattering on the leaves was very therapeutic.
We arrived at the quarry. Due to all the rain, we were unable to hike down into the pit. A return trip later this summer is a must!
A trail led us around the quarry allowing us to take in all the different views.
Down the hill we went. It was a bit slippery in places.
Once back at the pond, we decided to end our hike due to being soaking wet and a bit chilly
Today’s hiking adventure was 3.1 miles.
