Trillium Trail and Beyond

mapToday's hike in Forest Park (2.9 miles)

Aaron and I decided the weather was finally good enough to start hiking in Forest Park again - during the winter, short days and muddy trails make things difficult.

Anyway, we parked on Old Springville Rd. and took Firelane 7 to Trillium trail.


P1030336 Western Trillium - Trillium ovatum

It was a good choice, the Trilliums on this trail were just beginning to bloom.

After TT, we walked along a section of Wildwood trail and then headed down what we think is a new trail. The unknown trail (we now call it nettle and mud trail) was covered in tiny new nettles.

Green is showing up everwhere... in clumps of new leaves, and the mosses and ferns.
