Big Pine Loop

Big Pine

A hike in Kenna Cartwright Park on a series of trails to make a loop route.   Some snow on the trees and cool, but great conditions for a nature hike.

Paul Lake

I kayaked from the west end of the lake out past Gibraltar Rock and back on the same shoreline.   A sunny, quiet, and calm day for a paddle.

Low Iron Hike

Ironmask

A hike in the Ironmask Hills on a windy and cool spring day.   An area not yet open so I went cross-country over the hills.

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”

North Trapp Lake Paddle

Trapp

On a sunny and calm spring morning I paddled the north end of Trapp Lake.   I had kayaked the south end of the lake the week before.

“And up on the hills against the sky,
A fir tree rocking its lullaby,
Swings, swings,
Its emerald wings,
Swelling the song that my paddle sings.”

Six Mile

On a sunny spring day I drove up the bumpy road to Pat Lake.    I kayaked twice around the lake, once in each direction, then secured the boat and hiked around the lake for a triple loop day.
