I woke up rather early this morning and checked the weather report. I was hoping for a less than some chance of rain and as the sun started to come up through my windows. I figured this would be a good day to head out and see what trails I could find.
My favorite areas to hike are still buried in snow so I shifted my attention to something up north- which put me in Deception State Park. I've been here numerous times, and I figured with the overcast back drop, it would keep the crowds away on this late Saturday afternoon. About 2.7 miles from the state park entrance, the traffic came to a screeching halt. I made a quick decision and took a right hand turn towards Rosario Beach to explore.
The parking lot was near full, there were cars parked on the sides of the roads, which I'm sure annoyed the home owners in the vicinity and plenty of foot traffic on the trails. I didn't stay long. The wind was chilly, the rain was starting to come down, and it turned out to be a less than memorable trip out. But. I'm glad I finally made my way out onto some trails.
