“The mind can go in a thousand directions, but on this beautiful path, I walk in peace. With each step, the wind blows. With each step, a flower blooms.”
One of the best things about hiking this time of year is you get to see the woods come back to life literally right before your eyes after a long winter. If you are familiar with my blog, you know that I have a 2.7 mile hike in Fahnestock State Park that I enjoying doing when I don’t have much time but have the need to get out on the trail. In the last couple of weeks I have done this hike several times and the change I have witnessed is nothing short of remarkable!
This is why I hike!!!
The Appalachian Trail
When thru hikers go to cross route 301, they will see this sign.
A waterfall after almost three inches of rain four days ago.
Quite simply-a dandelion.
Compare this to other pictures from the hike a couple of weeks ago. What a difference!!!!
The AT headed back to Route 301.

Wow that is such a lovely hike. Love how green it is out there. I also like the quote you used “walk as if your feet…” Great pictures 👍
