Doesn’t get much prettier, huh?

Eastern Red Cedar Trees At Fort Hill In Eastham On Cape Cod
It was really cool to see the cut Eastern Red Cedar trees at Fort Hill on Cape Cod. They are thinning the forest while using the wood to anchor the boardwalk that is being repaired along the Red Maple Swamp Trail.
I knew they were called Eastern red Cedar trees, but I never fully realized why. Look at the inside of the tree. Wow! It is really red!
Part of the Red Maple Swamp Trail has been closed for a number of years, but should reopen this spring. What a treat that will be! This trail makes a loop from Fort Hill through the swamp to Hemenway Landing and then back up to Fort Hill. The views are spectacular.
It is a beautiful hike and a must if you are in the area!
Glorious Day At Fort Hill In Eastham On Cape Cod
Black And White Photograph Of The Boardwalk At Fort Hill On Cape Cod
We took this black and white photograph of the boardwalk on Red Maple Swamp Trail the same time we took the photograph of the Fort Hill Trail yesterday.
It’s really cool how you walk on the boardwalk over the swamp on the trail. This time of year it is pretty wet and definitely swampy!
It’s another cool hike at Fort Hill! Kids love it!
Pretty Day For A Hike At Fort Hill On Cape Cod
It was a beautiful day to be out for a hike at Fort Hill, on the National Seashore on Cape Cod. The lighting was so pretty.
We decided to explore the Red Maple Swamp Trail, which has been partly closed for years. We ran into some National Park workers and they said that it should be open again. by summer. That will be awesome because you can do a loop through the woods, across the boardwalk and then back up to the meadows. It is really pretty!
Have you ever been to Fort Hill?
