This 4th of July found my family at the top of Eagle Hill in Stueben. We hiked the network of trails with Gidget scampering along. Gidget was a trooper, scaling all but the largest of rocks and steep climbs. Then curiously, a branch across the pass would baffle her.
The trails took us through moss covered forests to panoramic ocean views blueberry barrens and a wonderful field of ferns. The fern-field was my favorite spot along the way – they were so tall that they all but swallowed us.

It was a wonderful family outing for holiday. Here’s hoping you enjoyed your Independence Day as much as we did!
Great photos – beautiful hike! Thank you for sharing them.
Beautiful views. The ferns remind me of hiking in the Sierra Nevada. We would come upon ferns that reached to my shoulder. Amazing!
