One Beautiful In April

This is where we started the hike, at the visitors center. We had wanted to get out and hike for a while now, just waiting for the weather to get a bit warmer.  Earlier in the week, the weather was really warm, but we had other things to do.  So, looking ahead, I saw that Friday, April 12, 2019 would be sunny with highs in the low 60's and just a little wind.  So, we planned our hike.  The plan was to go to the Hobbs State Park visitors center and hike from there.  We did a bit of the Little Clifty Creek Loop, going down to the bottom where Van Winkle Hollow joins the loop trial.  I had planned to hike about 4-6 miles, but ended up doing about 8.5 miles when it was all done!   Here we are on the trial for a day outside.  We started about 10:00 am and it was a bit cold so we had a some cold weather cloths on for  now.   The Dogwood and Redbud trees were in bloom and showing off their beauty! Not too many wild flowers yet...
