Vogel State Park - Saturday, 12 Apr 2025, 5:30pm
It's getting late. It's 5:30pm already, an hour at which I've become accustomed to thinking, "Welp, that's the last of the useful light for the day." But that's the great thing about the post-Daylight Saving Time spring.... Sunset isn't 'til just after 8pm today! And use the saved daylight we will. We've just finished our fourth outdoors activity today, and we've still got one more short hike to go.
The one we've just finished is Trahlyta Falls in Vogel State Park.
There's a trail from the park's lake (above the falls) down to that viewing platform near the bottom. The park's kind of a mess right now with construction, though, and we realized we could save ourselves some huffing and puffing, too, by checking out the falls from here— from a roadside pull-out on US 19. That's right: this "hike" was a matter of simply stopping the car on the side of the highway, hopping out, and walking about 20 meters back to find the best vantage point.
In beauty I walk... even when all I do is hop out of the car. 😂
