Sometimes you don't have to look far from home to find beauty in nature. Today, with my youngest daughter in tow, I set out for adventure at a nearby trail to a beautiful waterfall, called Moss Glen Falls. We live in the Green Mountain State of Vermont, and that means that there are waterfalls all around us. I've been to this waterfall with each of my kids, and it never gets old.
I busted out my Merlin bird app near the trail head and it lit up with the sounds of migrating warblers, sparrows, chickadees and even a large great blue heron flew over. The trail then goes through a wetlands area that has been damned off by beavers. Even though the beavers are nocturnal, we can signs off them all around.
The trail heads up a big hill and then you get to a beautiful overlook of Moss Glen Falls. It tumbles out of the forest and cascades down to the rocks below. After enjoying the view and avoiding getting too close to the edge, we trekked back down to the river below.
At this point you don't have to go far, because the river is so peaceful and beautiful with so many different rocks. We stayed down at the river for awhile, just soaking it all in.

Dela could play here all day.
