While one purpose of the trail is to look at the beautiful scenery, now that Spring has arrived, the trail can be used for it's more important purpose - exploring. Since the weather is finally warmer and the days are longer, people can always be spotted getting active on the trail. Whether walking, running, biking, or hiking, people enjoy everything that the trail has to offer from dawn to dusk. Just the other day, I observed a married couple walking their dog, two girls riding bikes, a few kids wandering off the path to hike, and several people just taking an evening walk. As I came off the trail, the pavilion was filled with a little league baseball team having a picnic and playing ball in the open space. The trail is a favorite for people of all different ages for various reasons.
Personally, my favorite thing to do on the trail is run. There's no better feeling then waking up early, putting in my headphones, and taking a morning jog on the trail. Sometimes my friends and I even go there to take a walk and catch up with one another. Growing up, I can remember having family gatherings in the pavilion and taking our dog, Taffy, for long walks on the weekends. As I have gotten older, the trail has not only become a place where I choose to seek tranquility, but a place that allows me to reminisce of all the wonderful memories I have made there throughout my life.
