Falling for a New Find (10/4/24)

Bob, Jack, and I found a new trail to walk today. It’s in the Rockway Nature Conservation Area, less than three miles from the house and across the road from the Rockway Golf Course and Rockway Vineyards. It was a cloudy but relatively warm walk (in the 50s) with a few sprinkles of rain during our outing.

While the trail was well marked, there was no map of the trail at the trailhead we started from, so we didn’t know how long it was our where it might go. However, having had a quiet day yesterday, we were all ready for a walk, we had the trail to ourselves, and we got a fun surprise at the end.

And we’re off
The trail was grass, a bit of mud, stairs, and rock.
The tree color has mostly moved to be ground cover.
Fifteen Mile Creek,
which also runs behind the house we’re currently at.
A tree arch
A warning and stairs up the hill.
The handrails were only sometimes useful, but we were warned.
A lovely small waterfall that had a pretty good flow to it,
although likely more to see in the spring.
