When it’s windy out, and it’s been very windy lately, we head to an inland trail. We have found quite a few at Nickerson State Park in Brewster. (Click on blog link to see other photo.)
One of our favorite hikes is hiking part way around Cliff Pond and then around Little Cliff Pond. It is just gorgeous and the trails are maintained so well. We are always so impressed.
Beautiful, don’t you think? The kettle ponds are so pretty and look at that sky!
Have you ever hiked Nickerson? Perfect time of the year for it!
I was up in Boston last weekend when Phil texted me that he was going to go for a hike. With the AllTrails App, he sent me his route around Cliff Pond. I could log on at anytime and see exactly where he was, which you can see on the map. The app would also send me periodic texts of where he was or he could send me a text of where he was on the route.
What a great feature, called Lifeline, especially when hiking alone. Even if you never need it, it’s always safe and fun to see where someone is hiking!
We decided to take a hike after breakfast the other day as the weather was supposed to turn with wind, rain and a bit of snow in the forecast. (Click on blog link to see other photos.)
We had never hiked the Higgins Pond Loop Trail at Nickerson State Park, so we headed out. What a pretty trail.
It was really cloudy so I didn’t think we’d get many good photographs, but when I got home and looked on the computer, they surprised me. The skies were beautiful!
I love hiking at Nickerson State Park, especially offseason. You can pick one of the trails on the map of make your own using the AllTrails app. We hiked the West Heartbreak Hill Loop Trail yesterday and it was so pretty. (Click on blog link for other photo.) There are so many variations, you can make it as long or as short as you like.
Have you ever hiked in Nickerson State Park? It’s just beautiful with so much diversity. This hike was pretty much in the woods and so pretty. Perfect for this time of the year and especially if it’s windy!
We have had so much fun with the AllTrails app which is so easy to use. We made a loop called Water Views & Forest Loop where you hike along the ponds at Nickerson State Park and then back through the pine forest. It is so beautiful. The map of the hike is at the end of the blog.
You start out hiking along the banks of Cliff Pond and Little Cliff Pond and then head back through the pine forests. It doesn’t get much prettier. You can add photos to the hike too. If you take them with your phone and download them to the app, they will pop up along the trail on the map where you took the photograph. Pretty cool, don’t you think?
