Return to the path; face the grove you just spent time in; take the path to the right, and stay right until you see the old, unused, horse jump.

Return to the trail and take the path on the right (as you face the horse jump). This is a fairly long winding trail. Enjoy the woods and ponder the following as you walk:

When you come to a junction, take the path to the left and follow the path until you come alongside a fenced field to your right. Horses can often be found grazing there.

#3 Stop - The Horse Field

Take a moment to pause by the fence and consider the following:

Continue in the same direction around a sharp left bend. Keep left as the path winds slightly down and up again. Next, you'll pass between two posts, and then go past a green metal bridge on your right. You should now be coming toward a wooden fence on the right, with the river below. Pause when you see an open viewing area overlooking the river to your right. Note: lower areas of this part of the route can flood at times.

#4 Stop - Wooden Fence

Stop at the wood rail fence. While viewing the river, consider this question:

Stay on this path along the river for a fair distance; eventually, you will pass a metal A-frame with cables crossing the river. You know you have arrived when you see a big tree in the middle of the path, with a sandy slope running down to the pebble beach. The next reflection point is at the riverbed depending on the height and flow of the river. Only go as far as you feel comfortable.

#5 Stop - Big Tree

If you can, wander down to the river. Find a comfortable spot to sit and reflect on these questions.

When you are ready, return to the path you were on, keeping the river to your right.

#6 Stop - Picnic Table

When you see the next big tree in the middle of the path, you will find a cement table with seating useful for resting and sitting to journal, draw, or create other forms of artwork. This is another open view of the river for contemplation.

#7 Stop - The Grove

To complete your reflective stroll, continue onwards, keep the river on your right, and then take the second path to your left. Keep left, and in a short time you will arrive at the grove of trees you paused at, at the start of your walk. Find a comfortable place to sit or stand under the trees, to complete your period of reflection.

Exit the forest by the same path you entered - you will recognize the open area at the edge of the forest in front of you as you step out of the grove back onto the path. Before returning to your car, take a last moment to reflect on what you have learned from this experience.

Now, take a deep breath and let it out, offer thanks to yourself for taking this time to be present, mindful and caring for your whole being as you walk back to your car.
