Hylebos Sprouts a New Look!

Today was my first visit to West Hylebos Park in 2009.  It was beautiful and the trail is now clear of snow and fallen limbs.  Since my last visit some new additions have sprouted in the park.   The long anticipated new interpretive signs are now in place!  OH HAPPY DAY!  They truely are magnificent and beautifully done.   FW Parks has done a great job at keeping the Hylebos looking grand.

          

   

Along with the new signs, FW parks has relandscaped the old parking area.  It looks like the area will become a new picnic area.  

Mosses and Lichens along the trail are plumb and lovely.  The patterns they create are fascinating.
