One Step at a Time #16 – As I headed home from an appointment, I decided to take the long way and avoid any freeways. That is how I randomly came across Orchard Lake Nature Sanctuary. Of course I had to stop to explore this 50-acre wooded area in Orchard Lake Village, Michigan.
Where have your adventures taken you this week? Your shared photos from last week were wonderful. Through the pics, I enjoyed joining each person on their steps to adventures.

Walking over tree covered sand dunes at the Indiana Dunes State Park started my zeal for the outdoors. More than a dozen years later, the thrill of hiking a trail is still there.
” I took a walk in the woods
and came out taller than trees.”

For this week’s One Step at a Time #15, I spent some time at the Proud Lake Recreation Area in Commerce Township, Michigan. This area is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots because of its many nature trails. This time, I decided to try the Chief Pontiac Equestrian Trail. With a forecast of heavy rain soon, I intentionally didn’t stray too far from my car. I was able to hike about two miles before I felt the first sprinkles of rain.
The photo above was taken at the beginning of my hike. The sky was brighter compared to the grayer skies below taken close at the end of my adventure.

This 1.5 mile looped trail with a long boardwalk is one of my favorite nature trails Kensington Metropark. This easy Deer Run Trail can be combined with other intertwining trails for a longer hike.. There are also views of Kent Lake and lots of birds and other wildlife to see.
