Grass River Natural Area
















Yesterday was deemed an "adventure day". We packed up snacks and sandwiches, the dog and his leash and headed out mid morning. We stopped at an art/craft fair and then at a fundraiser that was selling beads made in Uganda from recycled paper (very cool) and then headed out of town to check out the Grass River Natural Area.
It's less than an hour from our house but we'd just never been there for some reason. It was beautiful and we only explored a small portion of the hiking trails. We took Charlie for a hike on one of the dog friendly trails then let him rest in his crate while we went out towards the river.
It's amazing all the terrain and land features we have so near our house that are so drastically different.
I can't wait to see what some of these trails look like in different seasons.
Alex was excited to see that they offer ski and snowshoe trails in the winter too. And both kids loved the albino California King snake named Ruby that lives in the nature center building.
We will definitely be back!
