February's frosty Tyke Hike was an icy adventure. Fourteen hikers braved the windy and chilly temperatures to enjoy a more urban stroll through the Ice Age Trail Community of Hartland.
Kicking off at the Hartland Library, the hikers trekked through Nixon Park on our way to the Hartland Marsh area. Of course, we stopped to watch the Bark Rover and do a few rock hops along the way.
After traversing the road connect section of our hike, we make it to the more natural area of the hike. The ice won out and shortened the route, but the hikers had the opportunity to practice problem-solving, and persistence as we ice-hiked over the new boardwalks and around the land.
We stopped for a bit of natural play before deciding to head back.
We enjoyed cracking the ice and playing in the puddles along the way back to the library. Of course, we returned to the rocks for some more hopping and took a few turns down the park's slide. The ice may have been a bit trickier than we had hoped, but the adventure of ice0hiking will certainly be a memorable one.
