Glacier RidgeMetro Park. Marsh Hawk trail 3 miles.

It was a little iffy on whether or not the rain would hold off but we decided to head on out and take our chances. As far as wildlife goes it has been the best so far, because we we close enough to a nest that we could have almost touched the little birds. It was built on the underside of the observation tower. The baby birds looked as if they would be ready to try a fly in a couple of weeks. There was another nest on top of the tower but it was a bit farther out.

~C. I'm just poking in to add my two cents and a couple of pictures from my new iphone. Agree that seeing the little baby birdies was very cool. As far as the rest of the walk goes I think it was a bit too metro for me. I'm not sure I found Paris here, but, I do have to say it was interesting to note that only Dublin, Ohio would place a Frisbee Golf Course in the middle of a nature walk! Pics at the bottom. ~ C.






The first stop was at the observation tower where we took some pictures and got a feel for the rest of the park. The only trail was the 3 mile (one way) to the north end of the park and seeing that it might pour we opted to take a few pictures and then drive up to the north end to catch a quick hike.







The Glacier Ridge Trail system is a multi use trail so there are runners, walkers and bicyclists. It is much more urban than most of the parks and a portion of it buts up to a . There is a wind and solar learning center. The trails are fairly flat so its a good one to try if you are up for a leisurely hike.
