Stefan, Fran, Steve and Ann (Photographer and Leader) began the 16 km hike under overcast skies that were threatening rain. We accessed the main trail by hiking up the steep and well named, Hockley Heights Side Trail.
We were soon encountering all kinds of fungi that prior to Ron joining our crew, we probably wouldn't have noticed. Thanks Ron!
We had to stop at the massive downed tree.
The trail climbs and descends the lush Hockley hills.
More fungi and the occasional flowers were spotted along the way.
Streams were crossed.
Ferns were admired.
Our hikers approach the top of Hockley Valley Ski Hill. Is that Pizza we see?
The view was worth the climb.
The trail crosses through the Hockley Valley Golf Course.
and passes through some farms.
and then some road walking up and down hills
A brief stop for a clothing adjustment.
Are you sure you know where we are?
A few streams to cross.
More Fungi!
A last few fields and stiles and we are at the cars!
