Today's hike took us to a place we didn't expect. We wanted to hike to Church's Pond, but instead too an accidental wrong turn and ended up at Marilyn's Pond. It was a beautiful pond, a short hike through the lower part of the Galena Recreational Park. Even though the hike was short, the incline was rough on my out of shape body. (Isn't this one reason I started hiking this year anyway?)
Raven and I thought we might double back and hike to Church's Pond, but decided to tackle that on another day. There are several trails in this park, and we are thinking about tackling each of them. There are several places to park for the various trail heads, so the possibilities are many.
I tried to catch as many pictures of the fish in the pond as I could, but even if they didn't come out, the pictures of the pond itself are great.
I recommend the Bitterbrush hike for beginning to intermediate hiking abilities and dogs must be kept on a leash. We even saw a few people wading in part of the stream. It was a great day for that!
