It’s been so pretty hiking the snowy trails at Wiley Park the past few days. I’ve even used my hiking poles a few times as it’s been a bit icy in spots, especially the shade. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
There’s nothing like the quiet peacefulness of a hike on a snowy trail with just the crunch of your boots on the snow.
I love to hike the trails at Wiley Park and look out onto Great Pond. You never know what you will see. And if you’re lucky and no one is around, there is the perfect bench to sit and relax and just gaze at all the beauty around.
This was a mostly cloudy day and there was still a bit of ice along the shore, but still so pretty and peaceful.
Wiley Park is one of my favorite places to hike. The trails meander through the woods and along the shore of Great Pond. There are several places that look out onto Great Pond or a smaller adjacent pond. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I really like the colors in this photograph where you can still see the ice on Great Pond, even though it’s been so warm. I couldn’t decide if I like it better as a horizontal or a vertical. What do you think?
We took a ride up to Provincetown yesterday to see what Herring Cove Beach looked like after the storm last week. They sure did get a lot of snow up there! We could see the snow on the dunes as we were driving into Provincetown. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
When we got to Herring Cove Beach, we had to very carefully walk from the parking lot to the beach trail. Each trail had a lot of deep snowdrifts on it. It’s the most snow I’ve seen at the beach in a long time, much more than Wellfleet or Eastham.
In the last photograph, you can see the erosion mitigation fences. It was such a pretty day as the sun had just come out after many days of cloudy weather. You can even see Race Point in the distance.
