Waterfront Trail, Vancouver, WA

It was a sunny, warm day today, so Dave and I decided to go for a walk along the Columbia River Waterfront Trail.  This is a multi-use trail that is paved and suitable for bikes and walking.  Before we knew it we had walked a total of 4 miles. 

We parked near the playground at Marine Park and walked toward the east.  In 1996, the Water Resources Education Center opened.  The Center sponsors many community activities which help to increase an awareness about water stewardship.  Signs along the path educate the public about water resources.IMG_5088

    What a really nice walk (and healthy too). It is so much easier to walk when you have such a nice walking path and beautiful views.
    I MUST start my walking again. I had lost 20lbs. but after our winter in the Gulf I gained most of it back. YUK I was soooo proud.
