Marjory Swope Park Hike
June 14, 2014 – The day started a bit gray and cool but did not stop a number of people from gathering at the Swope Park trail head bright and early on Saturday.
We started on the blue blazed loop trail keeping our eyes open for salamanders, birds, and other signs of forest life. After turning off onto the orange trail, we climbed for a bit until we reached the south-western lookout point where Dimond Hill Farm could be seen in the distance.
Taking a left onto the yellow blazed trail, we made our way back down onto the loop trail before hiking up to the northern view-point that overlooks the reservoir. The exercise and the company of fellow hikers were a great way to start the day!
