Saturday Snapshots - #Hike on May Valley Trail

Tired of my hiking photos? Well, here are a few more, this time from the May Valley Trail in Squak Mountain State Park, Washington. I hiked this trail on March 19 with my son, daughter-in-law, and almost-five-year-old granddaughter. I'm proud to say that I was able to keep up.

Lots of trails interconnected, so we aren't sure how far we hiked; however, my FitBit says I walked 8.5 miles during that twenty-four hour period.

My granddaughter led the way, but we didn't let her get very far ahead. We made enough noise that we surely scared away any bears, but we didn't want to take any chances! 

Lots of moss - waving like tattered flags from the trees and 

encasing branches like a velvet coat.

Windfall.

If you stop and look closely, it's surprising what you might see.

This little guy was about two inches long.
