Alltrails Is An Awesome App For Hiking On Cape Cod… Or Anywhere!

I love the Alltrails App for hiking whether it be here on Cape Cod or out in one of the national parks. There are so many different trails that are already on the app  or you can make your own. It’s so easy. (Click on blog link for other photos.)

At first glance you can see the trail length, difficulty, elevation gain and average time. You can even preview the trail which takes you on the actual trail.

This was one trail that we made at Nickerson State Park in Brewster. AllTrails also has a feature that dings if you make a wrong turn.

    Have you ever used the AllTrails App? It is so much fun to plan your own hike or use one of theirs.

Beautiful Long-Tailed Duck In Provincetown Harbor On Cape Cod.

This beautiful Long-tailed Duck was swimming around off of MacMillan Pier the other day. He was gorgeous and he even posed for a few photos. (Click on blog link for other photos.)

“The stunning males have two mirror-image plumages: in summer mostly black with a white face patch; in winter mostly white with rich brown, black, and gray on the face. In all plumages they have extravagantly long, slender tail feathers. Females and immatures are smudgy brown and white, without the long tail. These prodigious divers can feed as deep as 200 feet, swimming with their wings, catching invertebrates and small fish.”

So many different sea birds in Provincetown Harbor this year. Wow! Isn’t he just beautiful?
