Blue Mountain #1 - Lavender (km 0.0) to 12/13 Side road (km 16.3) - July 18, 2017

It was a beautiful day for a hike as Stefan, Fran, Ron and Steve set off from the Lavender Cemetery for 16+km hike.


It wasn't long before Ron encountered an interesting fern and other specimens





The trail soon comes to the edge of the escarpment and follows along to the west.


Some spectacular views along the way


The trail winds through the trees and crevices.


A stop to examine a new specimen.



A few more



The trail passes a small lake which was flat as glass.



The selfie on the bridge that led to the loss of a pole in the stream.  Any one who finds a pole please contact Fran.



The stream that swallowed the pole.






Stefan beginning to realize he is allergic to grass.




and more grass.



Lets throw in some milkweed in bloom.








One final valley view.



And a final flower as our hike nears its end.
