A hike into the Sawmill Hills

A group of hearty men showed up in 15 degree temperature to take a wonderful hike up into the Sawmill Hills of Florence.  A couple of vernal pools and porcupine habitat were highlights of the hike.  Chicken vegetable soup and delicious Hungry Ghost bread were rewards for a hike well done!

We will be hiking into the Sawmill Hills.  Depending on the ground cover (snow?), it is an easy to moderate hike of about 2 hours.  The first part of the hike is up hill and then it flattens out.  It's a beautiful forest with rock outcrops and vernal pools.  Dress for the weather, warm clothes with layers.  Wear hiking boots.  Bring your snow shoes if you have them but they're not required. For more information on the area, go to youtube and enter  "The Sawmill Hills" into the search.  I have a video from 3 years ago on the conservation area we will be hiking in.

Afterwards, we can convene at my house up the road for some lunch, I'll have a pot of soup to warm us up!
