Hike #11 - Devil's Den (Part 2)

Today we returned to our first adventure of the year, Devil's Den,  We had family in town, and were joined by a grandma, grandpa, and uncle.  Grandma and grandpa did not complete the whole trail, but it was great to have them there.  The water was flowing nicely on the waterfalls today.  Since we've already explored this trail this year, there aren't many new details to share.

The most unique thing was an up-close encounter with a Pileated Woodpecker.  He was huge, and he was low on the trunk, only about four feet from the ground.  He didn't like people too much, but he didn't fly away when we got
close.  He would just bounce around the other side of the tree and then back again as we walked off.  It was something we had never seen before.


Travel time from home: 35 minutes
Today's miles: 2.66
