Ten people came out to hike the trail in the Hastings Lake area to Mottet Hill. The landscape here is gently rolling pasture and light woods—just right for horses.
A landmark on this path is the Two Stones. Situated at a stile, these large boulders are erratics—left here from the last ice age.
We strolled, rather than climbed, to the top of Mottet Hill. It’s a ridge that gives a nice view of the valley. Here we had our lunch. Then we returned via the road so that we could get a glimpse of Hastings Lake.
Thanks to Lee for scouting and leading the hike, and to Trail Maintenance for maintaining the trails, and to the landowners for their generous permission. You can see all the photos on Flickr.
