29 December 2017 Bedford Metroparks

It had been some time since we visited the Alexander Road trail through the Bedford Reservation. We started high in the parking on Alexander and dropped into the ravine leading to Tinkers Creek.

Most of the creek was at least lightly frozen, but there were open patches near the point we crossed.

Looking back from the top, I wasn't sure this was the best trail out of the ravine. It was very steep and slippery.

Deer are a pleasant site when they are actually in the woods. This group was at the edge of the woods line before our walk turned back towards the woods.

We eventually reached the frozen waterfall. It doesn't get many visitors, but is a very nice view.

We spotted a number of bluebirds on our way back to parking.

Our return home included a stop at a favorite holiday location.
