After our stop in the visitor center Noelle and I decided to go for another short hike, this time we would hike the Cold Brook Canyon Trail, a short but pleasant walk into a limestone canyon. The trail starts with a descent on an old, rough road into the pretty, little canyon.
There was a nice mix of prairie and pines.
There were also some interesting limestone canyon walls.
Perhaps the most interesting section of the canyon features a limestone tower that I theorize may have been part of a cave at one time.
Nearby the tower is a small limestone arch that we checked out.
We continued on to the end of the trail at the park boundary.
Along the way we noticed that all the trail marker posts had been used as scratching posts by bison and were covered with thick mats of shed bison fur.
It was a quick hike back to the trailhead as we retraced our steps.
