And the breeze off the lake is filled with positive ions!

I do like the scent of pines, it's very relaxing.

Do it for yourself too.  Even easy hikes are great exercise, better for the joints than straight walking.  And it's the ultimate in aroma therapy.  Inhaling all the great fresh scents of the leaves, pines, lakes is soothing and refreshing to the mind.

We have plenty of beautiful mountains to hike that are just outside our city. Take your family outdoors more this summer. Vacation travel will most likely be cut for most of us. The next best thing is NATURE! Plenty of great campsite are around too! Teach  your children about what is around them. Does anyone really know every tree outside? Eatable plants? These are fun things to learn that will also be taken with your children throughout their lives.

There is one main trail, I am 99% positive it is state land. The main trail, possibly only trail leads you up a good, rocky incline, and at the top their is an old fire tower. It's been a few years since I've been out that way so my directions wouldn't be 100%. I'll ask some of pals for good directions.

Are there trails?  Where would the trailheads be?  Public land?
