Shelter-Hudson-Breakheart Trails

7.2 miles; Exeter, RI

Another “mileage” hike. I had a lot of junk food to make up for this week! I really like this hike a lot; I had forgotten how much. Great weather, too. Back pain was almost non-existent so whatever I did wrong last week I managed to fix. Yay!

Don’t know that I’ve ever seen this sign before. It sounds like a noble goal.

Such a pretty view… I’ve seen it so many times, but it never fails to delight.

It’s that time of year… when the Joe Pye Weed and the Goldenrod are blooming, you know the end of the summer is nigh.

Okay so now I’m just showing off how nice the camera is in my new iPhone… But seriously, lookit that detail!

Still a lot of nice wildflowers out there besides those harbingers of cold, Joe Pye Weed and Goldenrod. This is White Turtlehead.

You can find out more about these trails and get a map from this RI Hunts website (northeast maps). As always, click the image above for details about this hike and to download the gps track.
