April Hike-Devils Den

A very deep area on the SawMill Bike Trail.
Wild violets make there way through the leaves to show their color.

Me, on a rock! duh


Deer watching me watching him/her.

















Barbara and I hiked the Sawmill bike trail at Devils Den this morning. It's a great trail with lots of different scenery. You walk along the creek most of the way. The north side of the creek is totally different than the southern side. We had to take boots/socks off and roll up the old pant legs and cross the creek. It WAS COLD! but it was fun to wade. Just after we waded over we hiked up a steep incline and heard lots of tromping up above us on a ridge. It was a herd of deer. They watched us for a while as we watched them. After lunch we came upon some more deer close to the walk in camp sites.They were about 20 yards off the trail, just stood there watching us as we talked and walked and didn't seem too concerned as I made their picture. We were glad they didn't run off.








One of many little flowers poking their heads up for sunshine.








There were thousands of redbuds blooming on the trails
