Grand Traverse Commons Old Orchard Trail

It looked pretty harmless as I parked behing the historic barns and started my hike...
Ill take the blue loop to start, the first part of the trail











.This was a welcome sight:
Now back to the trail... its beautiful, bursting with sights and sounds of summer.

























For some reason I chose to continue uphill farther to the red old orchard trail.  It was a steep hike for this old guy on rocky trails, it was kicking my butt!




As I finally reached the top it opened up into an open area, the red loop trail was narrow and at times almost absent, but I knew what I was looking for...














and this, the view I had heard was there.

A Hazy Sunset

It was a hazy foggie evening but I had to look for another sunset
The sunset was a bit dim and perhaps understated a bit.
While shooting there tonight we met a lovely couple from Arkansas,
and a young man from Colorado.  A few locals too!
Its nice to share the views of Northern Michigan with you all!
