Pleasant temperatures and sunshine greeted us, as Sharon, Elaine, and Mary joined me for a trek through Brighton Rec Area on September 7th. We did most of our hike on the Penosha Trail but finished on the Kachin Trail, and covered 5-6 miles. Michigan outdoorsman Jim DuFresne, in his book ‘50 Hikes in Michigan’, states: ‘The glaciers of the Pleistocene Epoch were responsible for Brighton Recreation Area’s rolling topography of moraines and ridges, steep-sided kettles, and numerous lakes and ponds.’ We enjoyed the cardio workout that the landscape offered, and walked among maple, hickory, and oak trees.
Participants’ reactions:
- ‘A beautiful day.’
- ‘Penosha Trail was awesome!’
- ‘Many hills and good company. Win win!’
