The hike started out at around 11:30am just as the sun was shining down from it's peak during the warmest part of the day. The trail continued through some pine trees(where the squirrels and birds were actively getting ready for the winter by gathering as many pine seeds as they could) and then crossed some railroad tracks that are a part of the Adirondack Scenic Railway.
From here the trail crossed over a bridge and up a small hill to reveal a cathedral looking spot where many animals were eating seeds, climbing trees and playing around in this natural sanctuary. Half a mile of hiking brought me to a strange burned tree. It was thoroughly burnt, yet another tree not even three feet away from it was left untouched. I believe it to be a tree that was struck by lightning but it may also be from a campfire....any thoughts?
