Looking for a short walk that would be easy on a recovering back injury, we chose what we thought would be a road walk from the Duncan Crevices Parking Area through the Village of Duncan and along Fox Ridge Road. There was light drizzle at the start that tapered off as we walked. The first couple of kilometers were exactly what was expected.  

What we didn’t expect was a very recent (Late August 2019) trail reroute off the road and on to a lovely path through open meadows filled with Goldenrod and Pearly Everlasting. This is the new Fox Ridge Nature Reserve purchased by the BT Conservancy in 2018.  If this is how our donations are being used, I’m happy!

The trail continued into rolling wooded terrain with some eerily shaped trees, eventually opening up again to apple and pear trees that are now wild and likely a big hit with the local deer population. It was peaceful hike interrupted only once by a friendly blond mom, 3 blond kids and a very large not-so-friendly and not at all blond dog.
