My town has a little secret. It is home to a very rare thing.
It’s an enchanted place. You can imagine fairies and sprites in the dappled sunlight.
Or, you can look for the real life endangered species in this rare Alpine Bog Boardwalk. There are 17 of them here. Right in my backyard.
Be prepared for wet feet! Sometimes the bog tries to take over the trail.
My favorite part is when the trees fall back and you’re suddenly in a sunny, stunning clearing.
The boardwalk was built, and then rebuilt, by volunteers decades ago.
And this is the prize for making it to the end of the boardwalk.
