Gorge Metro Park

Hubs and I decided today would be a great day to check out another park.  We settled on Gorge Metro Park.  Neither of us had been there and from looking online, there were quite a few paths you could take.

We got there and originally were going to take Highbridge trail, so we parked on the regular lot and just walked over.  We started walking, and walking and walking, and were totally bored.  It wasn't even remotely interesting to look at. So we turned around and decided to take the Gorge Trail.  It's a level 3, and I can now see why.  Especially after all the rain, lots of mudsliding going on.

There's a part of it that is washed out, so we walked part way through it, an turned around (since we'd have to anyhow). All in all we walked about 3.3 miles and really had a great time outside. It would have been nice if it were a tiny bit warmer, but we survived regardless.  This and the Deep Lock Quarry are two that we want to go back to and check out again.

Husband doesn't leave home without his camera, so he snagged a few pictures.


The water was beautiful!

The water made a pretty wooshing sound! ;)


Husband, resting


And since he was resting, I took the camera! 
Thank gosh for a handful of fences, Im pretty clumsy.
