Up the vista trail which promises some splendid views…

This looks nice..





This looks like something out of Pet Cemetery…





A rock shelter…seen a lot of these lately..






Of course a tree…..





And across the stream…





Been at it awhile now… where’s the vista?….this helped...





Finally…was disappointed in the colors…but a nice view none the less….









Thanks for coming…..for any history buffs…a recent re-discovery at the park
holds some interesting history about the Sons of Liberty who predate the revolution…the story can be found here..

Great photos & a beautiful area. I would love to spend a week hiking & camping thru the area. The link to this area concerning the Sons of Liberty was an added plus. Great post, thank you.
