I didn’t really know about Lake Menomin Park or the trail here (sometimes called the Red Cedar River Shoreline Trail) until I moved back home.

One of the hikes I knew I wanted to do back in Wisconsin was the Joas Park Nature Preserve trail in Chippewa Falls. This is a short drive from Eau Claire and is an easy but not too short trail.
There is very little information out there about the trails here, just that they exist and it’s a 52 acre preserve, which is nice but.. not that helpful. So, here I am. Boots on the ground journalism, right here!

I wouldn’t normally do two film posts in a row, but with Big Bend being actively destroyed right now, it felt like a good time to share the beauty of this park. I won’t get into details of that but it’s an easy Duck Duck Go away.

Next up in my “I needed to do this hike in Yellowstone because I didn’t the first time” series is the mud Volcano Trail on the east side of the park!
For a while I thought this was a separate trail than the mud pot trail, but there are mud pots on this trail and it’s actually called the Mud Volcano Trail.

Another one of the trails I wanted to do on this visit to Yellowstone since I didn’t on my first trip was the West Thumb Geyser Basin boardwalk.
This is a geyser basin right on the shore of Yellowstone Lake, so you get to see the lake AND thermal features at the same time, AND mountains off in the distance. I think it’s one of the more unique trails in the park for it’s location/scenery.

I knew one of the things I had to do on this visit to Yellowstone was hike out to Artist Point since I didn’t do that on my first trip there. I don’t think I really even knew it existed, and I definitely don’t remember driving down the road to get here.
So, after hiking down the to the Brink of the Lower Yellowstone Falls, we stopped at one other overlook then headed over to the Artist Point parking area.
