Florida Trail

January 16, 2021

It was a beautiful Saturday so we decided to drive out near Ocala and hop on the Florida Trail.

Rachel and I hiked from this trailhead last year and we enjoyed it so much we were excited to come back.
We headed down to the water first thing this time. When Rachel and I were here last time we hadn’t noticed how close the water was near the start and we stuck to the trail. It is such a beautiful day for this!
Luna is so happy we are all together on this hike!
Time to actually get on the Florida Trail (Orange Blazes).
Rachel spotted this edible fungus. Nope we didn’t try it, we just took a picture and left it alone.

We made our way back down to the water.

The water is much higher than when we were here last time.
The twisty tree roots are still here!
Lizzy “pretending” to drink from the spout.
Time to climb back up to the trail.

We decide to go a little farther up the trail this time.

Another pretty spot by the water.
Lizzy found an interesting spot to relax.
Rachel found a friend!

Another successful family fun day out on a trail!
