After leaving the Visitor’s Center we visited the Sugarlands Valley Trail. It is a flat circular trail that has a paved walk.

Years ago there was a farm here, but a couple of chimneys

and a stone wall are all that remain.

You don’t have to stay on the paved walk. You can take a right

and enjoy the creek that borders the old farm site.

Along the path there are benches where you can stop and put your feet up.

Hudson got a leaf that reminded him of something to write with,

and he left pretend graffiti all along

the last half of the trail.
