My doctor recommended I walk 2 miles per day. My wife had the brilliant idea of visiting every Metropark to liven the challenge. After visiting three Metroparks, we found out about the trail challenge, which cemented our goal. I am so glad we did it. Having lived near Dexter-Huron Metropark for 30 years, I was surprised to discover that each Metropark has its own personality and charm. It is impossible for me to pick a favorite. Highlights include the nature hikes, the varied and interesting nature centers, the views of the Great Lakes, the birds, mammals and butterflies encountered, the solitude in the early mornings, the unexpected rainstorms, the flowers, the rivers, ponds, marshlands and prairies, the histories of Native American and early settlers, the trees, and much more. I am so glad we completed the challenge and I guarantee we’ll not stop now. There are too many trials and activities left for us to do. -Geoff
