Kristy & I returned for a visit to Telford to try to get some spooky photos at the old farmsite. We we rewarded with a super spooky doll head on a fence post at the exact point we walked to access the farm!
There are some excellent fall colors at Telford, although I think we were about a week or two too late for peak. The hawthorn had already lost their leaves, and the ground beneath them is littered with red leaves which would have been beautiful to view before they fell. Most of the wetlands also have aspen groves, and those have lost about 50% of their leaves.
I chose "minor obstacles" for trail conditions since there isn't really any trail at all. We picked a route of cattle paths and interesting features on the horizon paired with our Gaia app since we wanted to eventually end up at the old homestead. Walking this area is relatively easy despite the lack of official trails. "Brushy" areas are majority sage, which smells wonderful as one hikes through tight spots!
It's currently hunting season, but we didn't start particularly early in the day and met several hunters who were exiting as we arrived. We made sure we were all decked out in bright colors, including Jasper pup, but we didn't encounter any hunters once we were inside the gates.
