Yesterday was a gorgeous day for a hike on the Red Maple Swamp Trail at Fort Hill after the snowstorm on Tuesday. We got about 6″ of snow. Yesterday was chilly enough that the snow had not turned to ice so the boardwalk was just perfect for a walk!
The Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trail in Wellfleet on Cape Cod is a wonderful walk for the whole family. The kids would love it, as there is so much to see and so much diversity along the trail.
My favorite part is walking along the boardwalk over the swamps. It is really cool and really eerie. You wonder what goes on beneath you…
Yesterday was a gorgeous day for a hike on the Pamet Trails in Truro. There are so many different hikes that you can take: the overlook of Ballston Beach at Bearberry Hill East Summit, the overlook of the cranberry bogs at Bearberry Hill Summit West, The Bog House and the different trails over the dunes to the beautiful beach.
One of my favorite parts of the hike is the huge dune that you can hike up and then descend to the beach below. The first photograph is going up the dune and the second one is me climbing back up to the top from the beach. Phil took that one. What an awesome hike!
Perfect for the whole family! And perfect for this time of year. It is pretty secluded so you don’t get the winds and… we were the only ones out on the trail! Love it!
It was a glorious day to take a walk on Coast Guard Beach, part of the National Seashore. After all of the frigid weather we’ve had and a forecast of snow tomorrow, we headed out for a walk on the beach. It was chilly enough to need a winter parka and mittens, but you really didn’t need a hat. Amazing for January!
Fort Hill is one of my favorite places to hike on Cape Cod. There is always so much to see and each time you go, everything is always different. This is one of the trails that loop around the meadow with Nauset Marsh in the background and Nauset Beach in the far distance.
Pretty spectacular,, don’t you think?
