Hilliard Park and New State Trails

Hilliard Park Trail

This was super short - blink and you miss it!

Yep - the river is that green...

New State Trail

This was a much more interesting trail. Although I only hiked a section of it, there were some surprisingly rough stretches,

No tree - its not autumn yet!

The "Catwalk"

The riverbank here was a 40+ ft cliff but the trail continued on thru a series of catwalks and steps. Much of it was seriously overgrown as it appears this is not that frequently used.  There were even remnants of a former substantial footbridge washed out by a flood.

Nice View!

I swear this looked like a scene out of Jurassic Park...

Waiting for the dinosaurs to appear!

Here's where I turned around

Two more photos on the way back...
