We were just getting in the car after a nice hike when this Red Fox sauntered by in the parking lot. I got my phone out and clicked away and he stood there and posed for me. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
We hiked Wiley Park and were shocked at how many trees and huge branches had come down in the blizzard. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
Thanks to the Eastham town workers who have done a tremendous job clearing the trails and making them safe again for everyone to enjoy.
This huge tree came down right across the trail.
As you go over the bridge, two trees fell together making a little arch to walk under… or run under.
Have you been to Wiley lately? What a fantastic job cleaning it up! Thank you from all of us!
We hadn’t been to Fort Hill for a hike in weeks due to all of the late January snow and then the blizzard. (Click on blog link for more photos.)
The Red Maple Swamp Trail had several trees and large branches down across the trail and boardwalk.
You can still navigate the trail by ducking under or stepping over the large limbs. I know that the National Seashore has been very conscientious will their trail upkeep, so I’m sure that it will be cleaned up in no time, No matter what, it is still one of my favorite hikes!
The views at Fort Hill are always spectacular, whether you’re up at the overlook looking out at Nauset Marsh or hiking the trails and seeing the beautiful scenery along the way. I love the drive up to the top… you never know what you may see!
The Red Maple Swamp Trail at Fort Hill is still pretty “snowed in.” You can see just how high the snow is by the fence. The snow is almost up to the top rail. Yikes! There’s not going to be much hiking there for a while… unless you bring your snowshoes!
We only stopped at Fort Hill for a few minutes yesterday morning, and it was worth it! Looking out over Nauset Marsh was just spectacular!
There is still quite a bit of snow on the trails, but you can see the grass poking through where the sun has warmed it. I wonder what it will look like tomorrow after this next storm?!
Just for fun, I edited it with a more dramatic look. What do you think?
We went snowshoeing at Wiley Park the other day and there’s still a lot of snow! It was fun to snowshoe on the trails and up and over the bridge. With the forecast for temps in the 20s and for more snow, I think the snow will be there for quite a while.
It’s always a gorgeous view looking down from the parking lot at Coast Guard Beach toward the trail to the beach. There was a lot of snow but oh! So pretty!
