With a couple of mechanical issues keeping Rick on the boat, I seized the opportunity for some adventure. I set off on foot, heading into town about a mile away. Along the way, I discovered the town’s charming Totem Park and then stumbled upon a sign for the Mount Dewey trailhead. Intrigued, I decided to explore further. By the end of the day, I had covered about seven miles, soaking in the beauty of nature and getting some much-needed exercise. It was an exhilarating day of discovery and rejuvenation!
Totem Park
“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.” ― John Muir
A short walk, just a mile up and back, leads you through a charming boardwalk with numerous steps, fully immersing you in the wilderness. This experience revitalizes both mind and body, preparing you to face reality, even when it feels overwhelming. The wilderness has a unique way of rejuvenating the spirit, making you feel ready to tackle whatever comes your way. Join me for a walk through the serene wilderness of Mount Dewey.
