Weekly Trials and Tribulations of the Scenic City Chapter of the TTA

Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Elsie Holmes Nature Park 3.23.21

 I had complete forgotten about this very nice little park.  Our group of six hikers arrived shortly after 9:00A.  We had to wait and arrive no sooner than 9:00 since that is when the gate opens.  Our hike leader, Tammy, had a very nice route planned for us through the park.  As we wound our way through the park we had some very nice views and the spring wildflowers were coming out.  There was a tree with a big holw, a dinosaur tooth and mysterious paw prints.  If you look at the pictures you will wonder who is the idiot that stopped on the railroad tracks?   We took quite a few pictures of the flowers as we went along.  You can see a couple of the flowers on the blog.  The first trail didn't wear us out, so we decided to take one of the other trails.  According to my GPS, our total hiking distance was 3.5 miles.  I would rate this hike as easy.  If you would like to see some pictures taken during this hike, click here.  If you are trying to view the photos through the TTA website and having trouble, please go directly to the blog at www.sdctta.blogspot.com.
