Chestnut Ridge Preserve is located near Cliffs of Glassy on Highway 11 and is a lovely hike.
The trail begins on this smooth trail through a grove of pines.
It was a wonderful time to see young ferns and spring wildflowers.
We saw so many of this purple trillium , almost ready to bloom.
After hiking through winter forests, it's so nice to see all this green!
Looking up.
Creek crossings make me a little nervous. I don't want to hike with wet feet! So far, so good.

Yay for butterflies!

We ate lunch beside this waterfall. Pretty impressive!
