When my husband and I go camping one of my favorite things to do is to go hiking. As I would hike, I would think about how wonderful it would be to have a hiking trail near where we live. As I have shared before - we have a nice park with a walking trail on it- but it is a concrete path around a park area. It is so nice that it is only about a mile from my house. So, it is easy to get to. I have been very thankful for the park and the walking path there, but I have always wished for a hiking trail.
Last Sunday morning my son and I went to check out a hiking path that is actually only about a block or 2 from the park that I would walk at. There is a good piece of property that has a duck pond on it and on one side it has a wooded area. Well, the week before or so they had worked on putting mulch down on a walking trail through the woods. So, we went to check it out.
Since Sunday I have been back 5 times. And took photos here and there along my hike.
I wanted to share them here with you so you took can feel the peace that comes while walking this path.
Whether it's a country road or a hiking trail, I love a canopy of trees!!
My beautiful hiking trail is at the bottom on this hill to the left. But I have enjoyed walking up this hill and around parts of the pond. To be honest - I have stayed away from the front section. Why? You ask? Well, there are geese at this pond, and I am a bit afraid of geese and I don't want to give them the option of chasing after me. But trust me there is plenty of room for me and them on this beautiful piece of property.
I love this pathway that goes along the water's edge.
So I actually have a hiking trail that is not very far from my home. I am blessed to be able to go and check it out and have the blessing of the peace that somes while walking on this wooded pathway. The hiking trail of it is only about 1/2 of a mile. There is another trail off of it and my son and I plan on trying to check it out as soon as we get a chance. I just feel like it is a better idea to check out the new path with my son first. Then once I know where it goes and all - I will probably be alright going by myself. Like I have been hiking this trail since last Sunday.
My dream to have a hiking trail nearby has come true!! What a blessing! It is true that God gives you the desire of your heart!! :O)
