The sign may be on the ground but the trail is in the best shape ever. Just be sure you wear good hiking shoes and be aware of the roots and stumps in the trail. A walking stick would be helpful!
Let's hike the Holly Hammock Trail. It's only 2.3 miles but of course we will go on some of the side trails too and stretch the hike out to 2 1/2 hours!
Follow me!
Ross Prairie Wildlife area is over 3,000 acres of pine forest, oak hammocks and prairie land. In the wet season there are marshes that attract all kinds of water birds too.
It's beautiful in every season but nicer in the winter months when it's cooler (and there are less bugs)!
We saw a lot of different birds on our hike but the one that posed for us was the Hermit Thrush.
Isn't he a beauty?
He moved around some but stayed close to the trail.
I love the photo my hubby took looking up into the branches of the oak trees.
So that's what we saw when we went deep into the forest.
There's something so calming about getting away from the sounds and noise of civilization.
Do you have a forest nearby where you can walk? I remember walking on old logging roads in the mountains of NC. I hope you can find a peaceful place to enjoy nature!
Monster in the trees?
Is he on the ground now? (don't worry, it's just an old burned out log!)
You just never know what you'll see, real OR imagined!
