Distance: 10 km. plus
Elevation: negligible
Sunday, June 30, was a nice day between some rainy days so we decided to go for a walk after church. I wanted to travel light so the pictures are from my phone and not Herm's camera. Most of the trail is pavement with bikes allowed but Herm led us beside the reservoir and on the Jack Rabbit trail for almost a third of the way. We could imagine we were out of the city.
We heard a nestful of flickers? but couldn't locate it and enjoyed some wildflowers along the way.
We went down to the shoreline of the reservoir and watched ducks, herons, sandpipers, an osprey and other birds and humans.
The trail along the shore was easy walking with only a little rock hopping.
Eventually we had to go back up to the bike trail and civilization. Alas. We stopped for ice cream at Glenmore Landing but since I had the camera (and don't take many pictures) there is no proof.
From Glenmore Park we could see how low the water was and how green the reservoir. It was prepared for spring flood run-off and thankfully not needed.
