While most people head upwards from the ski hill parking lot, a more relaxing option is to explore the meadows to the left of the ski lift. While vestiges of an old trail system are visible, it has not been maintained, and has mostly become absorbed into the marshy ground cover. The walking is wet, and you will either want waterproof boots, or if it's a nice day and you aren't squeamish, sandals. I watched a handful of ducks paddling around on one of the small ponds, and minnows swimming around a half-submerged plastic bucket in another. A somewhat tame robin darted to and fro, grabbing worms and making more than a half-hearted attempt to grab a monarch butterfly. Luckily for the butterfly it was the more agile of the two and flew off into the sunny evening, leaving the robin to its terrestrial pursuits.
