Petroglyph
Trail on Lyman Lake
One
of the nice things about Lyman Lake is that there are several different things
to do without ever leaving the park. One
trail that we walked a couple of times (in different directions) was the
Petroglyph Trail. Besides the
petroglyphs, which will be covered in another blog post, there was some lovely
scenery to be seen.
The trail begins at a level with the lake and early in the morning, it’s quite a lovely scene, with the lake just about mirror calm.
Walking along, and looking up toward the hills, there’s always something different to be seen. The small tree on top of the nearby bluff, reminded me of the solitude I felt walking down below it on the trail.
Looking closer at hand, the patterns created by moss growing on the rocks was remarkable. I always thought that moss grew in wet, moist places, but these rocks weren’t close to the lake and I don’t think that the park got all that much rain. Still, nature will have its way!
And, finally on another morning, we walked the trail going in the opposite direction, and I saw this lovely tree, in all its fall glory. I don’t think I would have noticed it walking in the same direction as I began the trail the previous day. Sometimes, it’s worth pursuing something from a different perspective!
Enjoy!
