Elk Knob State Park installed some artwork along the Beech Tree Trail where hazardous trees had to be cut down. Local artists and students converted the stumps into nature artwork. One of several animal-themed pieces.

Spectacular panoramic views. Unique botanical and geologic features. The Kerby Peak trail has it all!
The Kerby Peak Trail is documented on maps dating back to 1915, and was probably first established by Native Americans or game animals. In 1916, a telephone line was constructed to the peak by the State. In 1922, an official State lookout was established on top of the peak, where it remained until 1966. Civilian Conservation Corps were organized in 1933, and a camp was established outside of Selma (Camp Kerby). Men from the camp reportedly hiked the trail after hours in an effort to maintain physical fitness. The Oregon State Forestry Department burned the lookout in the fall of 1966, after it was acquired from the Forest Service and decommissioned. The last lookout tenant was reported as having a communicable disease (presumably Shingles, which was found in Selma around the same time), which contributed to the decision to burn the tower.
Be sure to stay on the main trail avoids erosion and disturbing sensitive vegetation. Be forewarned, there are no toilet facilities on the trail.

The trees were spectacular on the Hawksbill Crag trail...
Upper Buffalo Wilderness, Ozark National Forest, Arkansas.
The first day of March 2011 brought sunny blue skies to augment this stretch of bike trail at Stony Creek Metropark in Shelby Township, Michigan.
I know this seems a little off season (although this WAS taken only 3½ monts ago!), but I just purchased Photomatix and this is one of my first HDR creations. The trail was so beautiful with the light streaming in, but it was hard to get a shot with detail in the shadows without blowing out the sunny areas. I'm sure this could use a bit more tweaking, but I'll have to experiment to see what all the different adjustments do to the image.
Badgers Run, Zen Garden. Just a couple of the green trails in the Wild Mersey Mountain Bike Trails network.
The network caters for different skill levels with blue and black trials.
We particularly enjoyed the Railton Express. A green trail covering the majority of the route from Railton to Latrobe. More than 20km.
We were out for about 6 hours and totalled more than 70km. There was still plenty of battery power in the bikes on our return.
The end of the paved trail around the 10 mile marker. A wide and busy road has to be crossed at this point. If you survive, you can go on to the next few photos. A planned bridge will span the highway at this part of the trail
This Ocean to Lake Greenway trail marker is just north of the Cypress Creek Natural Area in Florida. According to the Jeaga Wildways map maintained by Palm Beach County (pbcgov.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html), this marker is rotated 90 degrees to the left indicating the trail goes in the opposite direction shown on the map (east). Google Maps shows the trail going both east and west, and both directions look passable from the location of this marker.
On the Bluebonnet trail in Ennis, Texas. Mostly a self-driving tour. there are tour companies that do take groups. Some of the roads are very narrow, and, although paved, are primitive and not necessarily well maintained.
Definitely worth it, so take your time and enjoy not only the wildflowers, but the scenic vistas as well.
Hike into Red Rock-Secret Mountain Wilderness on Loy Canyon near Sedona, Arizona. The trail goes five miles, ascending the Mogollon Rim to meet up with Secret Mountain Trail. We usually hike the two or three miles along the canyon bottom before it ascends. In winter, the upper elevations can be snowy and icy. Photo by Deborah Lee Soltesz, January, 24, 2016.

Note by Tull and Miller: The fruit is toxic if eaten but can be used as a laundry soap and yields a nice dye. Similar species--Flameleaf Sumac.

I believe this was near the lady's view in Ireland, right outside of Killarney, or maybe in England somewhere; regardless, i loved it.
