In between thunderstorms, the Monday Morning Hikers walked a section of the trail from the Natural Well trailhead south to the bridge over Falling Spring Creek.
 |
| In a number of places, the trail is squeezed between cliffs and the river. The cliffs show how the rocks have been squeezed and deformed during the geologic process that created the "Valley and Ridge" physiographic province. |
 |
| Ferns grow in the rock crevices. |
 |
| A "concretion" embedded in the bluff. |
 |
| I'm not sure if these radial lines are natural, or an artifact formed when the railroad blasted the rocks to create the railbed along the river. |
 |
| Board Tree Run is a pretty mountain stream that crosses the trail just before flowing into the Jackson River. |
 |
| We almost always see deer along the trail. |
 |
| An Eastern Box Turtle on the trail. This one was particularly brightly colored. |
