Pawtuckaway state park offers a variety is host to a variety of biomes, with this loop taking you to both of the mountain's low peaks and along boulder fields and a large wetland with a large diversity of wildlife. South peak has an observation tower open to public, and an active hummingbird feeder.
An Eastern Painted Turtle on a log, ripples from something that had splashed just before in the water behind it.
I believe this is looking west from the view tower, but I'm not sure what that mountain is.
Looking into the wetlands filled with lily pads and a beaver hut may be seen center right.
