Today, 25 hikers enjoyed an absolutely wonderful day at Lula Lake Land Trust. Our journey began with a short presentation from Daniel Roberts, a Community Engagement Coordinator for the trust. Daniel explained the various properties owned by the trust and unique topics of interest for each. He also reviewed how the trust maintains the properties and the plight of the Hemlock trees. Currently, a beetle has been introduced to the Hemlocks that devours the invasive insect that is killing the trees. After our presentation, we divided into two groups for the beautiful four mile hike. When we reached the waterfall, it was ROARING from all the recent rain. At the bottom of the waterfall we enjoyed a small rainbow through all the mist. Many hikers chose to return to the top of the falls via the steep path of steps, a great cardio workout. We then started our climb on Bluff Trail to a breathtaking overlook for snack time. Both hiking groups mingled until we started our descent on Middle Trail to the parking area. Thank you Betsy for coordinating this fantastic day.
