An uprooted tree. I love how woodsy it is.
I would love to come back in the Fall or explore another area of this conservation land.
I hope you enjoyed this little bit of New England. Thank you for stopping by! ~Val

Crystal Gorge Conservation Area
The Crystal Gorge Conservation Area is in our city bordering New Hampshire. It is perfect living in a place that is as much city as it is country!
Consisting of 65 acres, there are plenty of woodsy trails to enjoy for a peaceful nature walk.
I would not recommend this walk in the summertime like we did due to all the bug action! This is a mistake I seem to make every summer craving a nature walk.
So our walk became partly a jog to keep from the pests.
It is very hilly and rocky making for a great workout!
Part of these trails are on ledges overlooking the gorge. I attempted to photograph the gorge for effect but the photos just don't do the land formations justice!
I would love to come back in the Fall or explore another area of this conservation land.
This is part of Crystal Lake where some of the city's drinking water comes from.
The part near us was covered in darling lily pads and water lilies!

Val, I love the area in which you live! So much nature and beautiful things to see. What a fabulous walking trail! What's up with all the pests nowadays? There seem to be more of them. LOL We have the same problem here. Those lily pads and water lilies are gorgeous! I always think of MONET when I see things like that.
