Green Gardens



We decided to take the hike to Green Gardens on Tuesday in the blazing 24 degree heat. So we packed plenty of water and a small lunch and headed out to the trail. Mike's sister Kay and her husband Joe joined us on Monday at Lomond and went on the hike with us. Their dog sailor was the chief water seeker! The hike took us about four hours return trip. It was a 9 km. hike to the shore but getting there we had to go down coming back it was all uphill. The kids were real troopers. When we finally made it to the shoreline, it was beautiful. At the end of the trail down near the beach there is a cliff that is formed from Pillow Lava and also there are volcanic sea stacks poking out of the sea. We were looking for the sea cave and waterfall as the kids were very interested in that but it seemed to have eluded us. We did see some sheep though!!! I wonder how those got there? I forgot to mention that on the way we saw two moose, a mother and a calf, I did manage to get a picture of one of them.
