This was actually our second time going to Fort Snelling State Park. The first time was in the early spring, although you can't tell by how brown everything is!
This time, things were much more green. First, we went up to the Fort itself, which was up a pretty steep hill:
The biggest topic of conversation when we were up at the Fort was whether it would be a good stronghold for the zombie apocalypse... I think we both decided there were considerable downsides!
Then back down the hill! One of the cool parts of this park is the ability to rent bikes to ride on the trails. Unfortunately it is pretty pricey in my opinion ($4/30 mins) but there are options to get yearly passes for those who use it a lot.
Back to a familiar route, but totally different look than before!!
We even saw this little guy hopping across the trail:
It's a little frog! Unfortunately, he must be too small to eat all of the bugs... we ran into a swarm, and despite our bug spray, managed to get bitten a few times. I didn't really put any on my face because I hate how it feels, but I regret that decision...
Got bit three times! But still had fun and we're looking forward to next time!
