Machias to Snohomish || Hiking the Centennial Trail || nature and history

Описание: This hike is the last 5-mile section of the Centennial Trail, heading from north to south. I finished up on a beautiful sunny day. Although parts of the trail are near a busy road, the trail offers a slow pace look at some lovely farms, mountains and the beautiful Pilchuck Creek and River. Each of the trailheads have interesting history boards with historic photos explaining some history of the area and relevance to our modern times. I thoroughly enjoyed the trail and will be back to explore again. If you live in the area or visit, I hope you will be able to enjoy it too.
Thanks for joining me ~ Jennifer
