East Bay Hills

We have been looking at the sign leading to this newly upgraded walking trail for some time. Woke up this morning to a beautiful winter day, the last of January so wanted to take advantage of it. There is a parking area at the trail  with a welcome sign and a map of the trail with a quick description. There were a few walking sticks leaning against the entrance to the trail, enjoyed seeing this as it speaks to the trail being used as well as a good hint that it is looked after, no "punks" wrecking the trail or the sticks would be long gone. There is a bit of a climb as you head up the trail with a few signs showing the different species of trees which there are lots of. Really enjoyed the stand of Hemlock at the top of the hill. Feels so comforting under the canopy of such large trees. Where the trail goes through swampy areas there are wooden boardwalks. There are also a few offshoots from the trail highlighting different features such as a stand of old growth birch and a brook meandering through a stand of Hemlock. Look forward to going back to the trail. The batteries kicked out on the camera so now pictures. Will update when we make it back.
