hey guys so we are here at Glendalough state park
first time we've ever been to the state park here in minnesota we're so excited
to be here to check it out and see what the state park is all about so we
are going to kick off our time here at the state park doing
some hiking and then we're hoping to get the kayaks out it's a little windy
though so i'm not really sure if we're gonna
we'll have to see we're gonna hike first and then we'll see about kayaking
so right now we're just gonna head on this little short hike here right at the
beginning of the park it is the prairie hill
hiking trail it is a beautiful beautiful fall day the
colors are just coming in so pretty and yeah it's gonna be a good day here
in the park to do some hiking so ready to get started hon ready let's
go all right let's do some hiking here is the little trail we're gonna
head on first this is the interpretive trail and we're just gonna do the loop
it is about point six miles one way so just a little
bit over a mile round trip look at the sumac you
guys it's so pretty and red
total fall feels
ah this is so cool it's like very prairie life out here which is beautiful
so we just spent our entire morning at
maplewood state park and the colors there were really really
much farther along there but there's a lot more
maple trees seeing a lot more oak trees and they're not as colorful
yet here at the state park it is september 19th
so yeah little a little bit more green here but it's still really really pretty
so if you're interested definitely go check out
my maplewood city park vlog we did some kayaking hiking at the park
and then we went and spent some time in pelican rapids
and had lunch dessert and saw the worlds largest pelican
so it was really fun so check that out but
this is way cool look at that you guys
cool
okay so really weird thing okay there's these electrical lines you could
literally hear like the electrical snapping charge just standing like it's
kind of weird i don't even like being under it whoa i don't think you can hear
it in the video but you can literally hear the electricity
going through these lines it's weird well that's normal or not
i'm hoping it is or we're gonna get
electrocuted
this is so cool these grasses are almost as tall as we are
taller than you they are look at that but i like this
oh god but okay but seriously like we've never really hiked in like
prairie-ish like state parks this is really cool and like
totally different it has like a lot of really cool like
grasses and flowers and yeah this is so pretty very cool
the amber color everywhere oh my goodness it's so pretty
all right so now we are gonna cross the road and this trail actually goes
on the other side of the road here to the lake
so that'll be pretty i'm sure
but this actually turns into molly stark lake trail
but we're just gonna go to the lake and back
we are at sunnyside lake now i'm just gonna go check it out really quick
so just a heads up for anyone who is looking to actually camp here
we went and scouted the campground and um you park and then you have to like
walk into your campsite there is no like pull up campsites here so if you're
a camper and you are ever wondering what the camping is like here that is what
it's like you don't have like where you drive right up to
your campus maybe you can do that so now you know oh my
goodness you guys we got
a whole flock of geese working on the lake holy wow
how cool it's absolutely beautiful all those
geese this is their home sunset lake if i was
a goose i would totally live on sunset
lake
all right hack number two we are gonna head on
the beaver pond trail and it also there's a dog cemetery here
the interesting thing to have at a state park where's the cat cemetery yeah no
they don't have the cats over here they don't have dog
we are right there and then we'll go this way
and back the hike in total is about 1.4 miles round trip
okay so right there's like the dog cemetery
i don't see any headstones or anything though
a bunch of little dogs in there it's kind of sad
rest in peace littles
almost every state park we went to this year we have seen a snake on the trails
and right when i started i looked down screams
there's a little guy slithering into the bush a little screaming and
yeah it never fails
well guys i think the beaver pond dried up
nah it's wet down there you just can't see it
nothing left for the beaver pond it's so pretty
no water though dry beaver pun it's never good
okay well i'm glad that hike is over we saw six snakes
i saw the first one and then i decided not to look at the ground anymore
and my husband saw six more after that first one so
just a heads up favorite pond trail a lot of snakes on that one
so now we're gonna go check out the beach area here
it's windy though
this is a really pretty beach area but too windy to kayak so we aren't going to
be able to make it
all right you guys that is arrived here it's just such a cool park and our first
time ever at this park definitely recommend coming in to check
out this park that first trail we went on with all the paragraphs
and stuff was so pretty and favorite part was parody too but there was last
