Ray, Jim and Wendy did a hike at the Holden Arboretum in January.
The Arboretum was created in 1934 by Albert Fairchild Holden. He wanted a memorial for his oldest daughter who died of scarlet fever at the age of 12. His sister convinced him to create an arboretum for Cleveland as a place where students and adults could learn the basics of horticulture. To read more about the history click here.
The weather was warm in the 40′s. Their was a little bit of snow. So far this winter has been very mild. We seen a few people Cross- County skiing. Their was not much snow to ski on, as you could see gravel on the trail.
The Arboretum is a pretty place to visit. Their was many ponds and bogs at the Arboretum. Many of the trees and bushes were labeled with their species.
They have many miles of trail to explore. It was a very easy and relaxing way to spend time with nature and enjoy the outdoors.
Nice video Jim. Thanks for sharing. I had a GREAT time skiing at Wilderness on Sunday.
It’s very sad the snow is gone… not looking good for the Quad on Sunday.
