Sunnymede Walking Trail


A photo on FlickrThis is a view of the tiny waterfall on the trail where I take my evening walks with the dog.

The trail is called Sunnymede Walking Trail, and it runs along the Arkansas River, about a mile and a half from my house.

When I first started walking there, no one was ever there but me. It was great, frankly. Canada geese hang out in the river and in a big concave depression in the center field, so it would be just me and the dog and about a hundred geese, all yelling at us in outrage.

Since the pandemic, though, more and more people are using the park -- desperate to get out of the house for even an hour, I suspect.

Here's another view:

That's from the top of a small slope overlooking the river.

The little dog loves the waterfall. He leaps right in and swims around.

If I couldn't go for a walk at this park every day, I would lose my rag a lot more than I already am.

That's a lovely spot.

And yes, getting outside every day is the only thing that has kept me sane.
