We were just commenting that things at Fort Hill had been pretty quiet lately, when this big, healthy Coyote strolled by. Phil jumped out of the car and clicked away. (Click on blog link for other photo. )
And then, as we were getting ready to leave, another one appeared on the trail. Wow! Double treat!
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?
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?
