Head Of The Meadow Beach In Truro On Cape Cod.

When stopping at Head of the Meadow Beach, I saw this sign that says, “Over sandaccess. Permit required.” Where does this sand path/road lead? Can cars go on it? Is it a trail for hiking?

“Snow Knees” On The Beech Forest Trail In Provincetown On Cape Cod?

There are some really cool trees on the Beech Forest Trail in Provincetown.  In Colorado, we used to call them “snow knees” as the snow would come down the mountain and cause many of the trees to bend from the weight and ice. Many ended up just growing this way.

I’m sure these “snow knees” are not caused from snow and ice, but they are pretty cool, nonetheless!

Have you ever seen these trees on the trail?

The Other Boardwalk To Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod.

If you’re walking to Coast Guard Beach, there’s another little “off-trail” you can take which gives you beautiful views of Nauset Marsh and the back of Coast Guard Station. There is a very pretty little boardwalk (before you get to “the” boardwalk) that you hike across that is adorned with very pretty, bright red Winterberries in the fall and winter.

You can see the trail where the X is on the AllTrails map. Have you ever hiked this little boardwalk?

Beech Forest Trail In Provincetown On Cape Cod in Black And White Or Color?

The hike on Beech Forest Trail is beautiful any time of the year. We took a nice walk there a few days ago and the colors were still so pretty. (Click on blog link for other photo. )

I took this photo in color and then Phil took one in black and white. What do you think?
