Loft Mountain Trail, Shenandoah National Park
Now that it's Spring we've been doing a lot of hiking. I have a backlog of hiking photos so I'm going to post a couple at a time.
Back in May we hiked Loft Mountain in the Southern section of Shenandoah National Park. It was just after almost 2 solid weeks of rain and before the skies really cleared up. The first 1/4 to 1/2 mile of the trail was like creek walking there was so much water on the trail (below). It was actually kind of fun! After that the trail tried up. Near the top there were blackberry bushes just starting to bloom and the trail was lined with wildflowers (below). Loft Mountain is supposed to have great views but unfortunately it was raining a bit and really overcast when we got there, so I didn't take any photos.
