Why spend a delightful autumn day Black Friday shopping when instead you could spend some time savoring autumn air and counting your blessings? Stretch your legs by taking a walk with a ranger who will point out how the forest welcomes winter.

The walk will cover about a mile over moderately level ground with a couple inclines. There are some roots on the trail which might make the trail unsuitable for baby strollers.
