Kingfisher Trail

Last Saturday morning, it was cloudy and somewhat cool outside (which meant the heat index was not 110). So we decided to take the boys and the dogs out to do something outdoorsy. We headed to Pinnacle Mountain State Park, which surprisingly wasn't all that crowded. We did the Kingfisher Trail, which is short enough for a three year old. And, most importantly, it has a playground next to it.

It's a nice trail, as it runs through some forest and along the Little Maumelle River. I tried to do my best to take pictures, which wasn't easy since I was also holding a dog leash and making sure a toddler doesn't run off into the water.



Along the trail are two massive bald cypress trees, which are thought to be over 500 years old. It's amazing to think that these trees could have been growing around the time that the Mona Lisa and the Sistine Chapel were painted.
