Alison Schrag: Hiking Green Meadows and Rolling Hills Bliss

Alison Schrag suggests that soft light spreads across the grass as the trail leaves the parking pullout and slips into open country. Hiking through green meadows and rolling hills begins quietly, with the hush of dew under boots and the gentle clink of trekking poles. Larks stitch sound into the morning, and a cool breeze moves the seed heads like water. The path is firm and forgiving, a mix of packed soil and short turf, friendly to both new hikers and seasoned wanderers. Far ahead, hills roll upward in pale layers, inviting a steady pace, curious eyes, and the promise of views that grow wider with every careful step.
