Looking up the Foss Mountain Trail
Route: Foss Mountain Trail, (Foss Mountain North Peak), Foss Mountain Trail
Having not yet had any sizable portions of wild low bush blueberries yet, I decided to head up to Foss Mountain to pick a few for dessert.
Apparently we weren't the only ones who decided to hike Foss on this nice (despite the forecast) afternoon. Nonetheless, other than a lack of room for parking, the 'crowds' weren't much of a problem.
Upon descending, we noticed a bunch of wood lillies in the lower fields - what neat looking flowers!
