We came through here in 2012 but had to check out the highlights again.  A boardwalk through a bog at 4000 feet elevation.  It doesn’t seem to belong here.

Lots of stairs to the Falls on Hill Creek.  The creek runs though a beautiful wooded ravine.  It is running pretty full with all the recent rain.  It was a good walk the second time too.

We saw a Black Bear.  On a signed interpretive nature trail no less.  It was a quiet walk through a meadow, a bit of wetland (or used to be till the beavers moved out) and a forested section.  Pretty but not very exciting until about the end when I sighted the black furry lump just 20 yards or so across the meadow.  He was intently noshing on something so we watched for a bit; then he noticed us.  Looked right at us and beat it for the woods.  That was the highlight of my day!
