THE HIKE:
On Nov 20, 2015 Shawnee too I hiked v of the Hyde Park trails too earned a patch. On November 20, 2017, Brodie too I hiked 2 of the Hyde Park Walkabout Trails too needed 3 to a greater extent than to to consummate all 10 trails too earn our minute patch. That was our mission on this day.
 |
| For such a modest park, the trails are incredibly difficult to find. For lack of anything better, nosotros went upwards the steps from the parking lot towards the recreation office. I knew nosotros had to hike the perimeter trails (red too green) but where the heck were they? |
 |
| Just every bit nosotros got to the exceed of the steps a commons maintenance human pulled inward too he directed us across the disc golf game course of written report towards the woods parallel to the road. |
 |
| And in that place is the trail, but non at all visible from the parking lot. |
 |
| The trails are quite hilly too rugged. |
 |
| There are practiced directional signs at each intersection. |
 |
| At the halt of red, turning left on the light-green Woodland Trail. |
 |
| A brusk side trip on yellowish to ... |
 |
| ... Gorilla Rock. It does indeed await similar the caput of a gorilla! |
 |
| Back on green. |
 |
| Orange joins inward for a flake earlier ... |
 |
| ... nosotros left light-green for bluish which was a flake longer than finishing on light-green but it follows Crum Elbow Creek too therefore it was to a greater extent than scenic. |
 |
| It was that mutual depression temperature out - xix degrees! |
 |
| Blue ends at a champaign amongst the parking lot across the way. |
 |
| On the agency dorsum to the auto I noticed a sign for the trails inward the parking lot but that would accept you lot to the centre of the commons non the perimeter trails that nosotros had hiked. |
