When we woke-up today the forecast showed rain starting early afternoon throughout the island, so we decided to get in a quick hike in the morning and headed to Bonshaw Hills Provincial Park, just about a 20 minute drive from Charlottetown. There are about 18km (a little over 11 miles) of hiking/biking trails - we found a parking area in the middle of the park and started hiking ~ it was pretty much forest, but it is always nice to wearing hiking boots and have dirt underfoot. 😀
The trail was mostly forest........
We saw lots of Red Elderberry.......
Some of the trail was a bit more sparse in terms of the trees.....
There was the occasional bridge......
This is a Vermillion Waxcap Mushroom...quite iridescent!
Some Northern Tooth Fungus......
There was a lovely patch of Bluebead Lilies......
More forest......some dense
We hiked about two hours (we forgot to check our times) and have no idea how many kilometres (or miles) we hike.......we did what is highlighted in purple.
Of course, we were hungry by the time we got back to the car, so off to The Lone Oak Brewpub for some lunch! Brad ordered some PEI Mussels - yum!
Followed by another visit to Cow's Ice Cream! 😋
We both agree that their Cownadian Maple ( maple ice cream, maple swirl, maple cookie chunks) is the best! 💥
PS - It never rained!😎
