I took a friend from New York City out to explore Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, starting from the Michigan Road parking lot. We followed the green/red trail south and west to Leatherman’s Loop, passed the outlook, then spent time at Leatherman’s Cave, where we found a geocache with a few goodies inside. From there we continued west, picked up the unmarked Blue Moon trail, skirted partway up Joe’s Hill, and looped back to the green/red trail for the walk north to the car. A good hike, even if hiking with friends meant I barely took photos along the way.

An easy stroll through the woods with two friends and their dog was a great way to spend a beautiful spring afternoon! I chose Ward Pound Ridge Reservation due to its variety of trails. There's something for the beginning hiker through the advanced hiker. It was the first day of spring and the temperature peaked in the low 60s in the afternoon. We stopped to explore one of the lean-to shelters available for rental. I'm interested in adding camping to my hiking experience, so will look into investing in camping gear for the summer or fall season this year.
