The Moraine Hills Bike Paths
Northern Woods to Lake Defiance

As I continued my Moraine Hills ride on the northern part of the trail (the loop that is north and west of Lake Defiance) I came to another one of the paved parts of the trail along a higher ridge in this area.

Late in the day the sunlight looked pretty nice as it made its way through the trees. This is one of the most wooded parts of the trail system.

This is still on a little bit of a ridge and there are some wetlands off to the left here.

There is a path off to the left here called the Fox Hollow Nature Path. Unfortunately the sign at the entrance said no bikes. I would like to explore that path at some point but my goal on this ride was to ride the entire Moraine Hills trail system and I only had a limited amount of time.

As I was coming up to Junction B (from the other direction) I wasn't sure what I was seeing on the left side of the trail.

As I got closer to explore I saw that it was an old burned out tree stump. I'm not sure how this single burned out tree stump got here but I decided that it looked interesting enough for a close-up photo.

This is the part of the trail that I rode twice in order to take both of the main loops on this side of the trail (since the trails are one way for bikes). There was a small paved and fairly wooded section of the Moraine Hills Trails at this point.

My ride on this trail was on a really hot day and it was a weekday so I saw very few other riders. I snapped a photo of one of the only other riders that I saw that day after he passed by.

This is Lake Defiance way off in the distance as seen from the west.
