The views are so pretty as you hike the Beech Forest Trail in Provincetown. I loved this reflection on the pond a couple of weeks ago when the leaves were so vibrant.

Beautiful Orange Oriental Bittersweet At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.
I get very nostalgic whenever I see Oriental Bittersweet vines with bright orange berries growing along the trails at Fort Hill. When I was little, my mother would take us out and gather the long vines which she would weave into a gorgeous fall wreath for our door.
Oriental Bittersweet has a twining woody vine with tiny green flowers which grow into clusters of showy bright orange-scarlet berries with yellow leaves.
Have you ever seen an Oriental Bittersweet? The berries are exquisite!
The Bridge At Wiley Park In Eastham On Cape Cod.
Wiley Park is one of my favorite places to hike here on Cape Cod. It is so pretty with 2 kettle ponds within view. It is especially nice when it is chilly outside or when the wind is blowing as it is very sheltered.
This is the bridge that connects the trail over the 2 kettle ponds. I really like how it looks. What do you think?
Beech Forest Trail In Provincetown On Cape Cod Is Gorgeous!
If you’re looking for a gorgeous and fairly easy hike in Provincetown, try the Beech Forest Trail. It is just beautiful as it meaders on a boardwalk over the marshes, through a beech tree forest, through a pine forest and then around the lake.
It doesn’t get much prettier, especially in the fall when the colors are spectacular!
Slender Fragrant Goldenrod Wildflowers At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.
I never knew there are so many different varieties of Goldenrod wildflowers. Wow! I saw this Slender Fragrant Goldenrod a couple of weeks ago while hiking at Fort Hill. Although I’ve seen Goldenrod for years and years, I don’t remember seeing this one before. It looked so delicate.
Slender Fragrant Goldenrod has 1/4″ tiny yellow flowers that form a flat-topped cluster at the top of the plant, which grows 1-2 feet. They bloom from July through October on dry sandy soil and fields.
