This day we hiked the Loblolly Trail. Took a few and a half hours. We didn't break any speed records but no one should when out here. Absolutley beautiful time full of scenic forested areas. Took some great memories of pollinators, Herons, flowers, pretty sure we glimpsed a female Ovenbird scouring the forest floor, and a turtle who pretended to be invisible. This is a highly recommended journey.
The canopy is cool, with filtered light and some gentle breezes blowing through. Take time to stop and quietly take it all in.
Hats off to the friendly park ranger who gave us some guidance.
Go enjoy this wonderful resource, bring water, some trail snacks, watch your footing on the trail and always clean up trash whether its yours or not. As a note we didn't see any trash on the trail. Very clean happy to report.
