When I get to Rocky Woods I will drive past the little cabin to the parking lot.

After I pay the parking fee I will put the ticket in my car.

I start my hike by looking at the map and finding Echo Pond. I can take a picture of the map with my phone or print one at home.

While hiking I can look for the colored circles, called blazes, on the trees. This will help me stay on the trail.

There will also be signs that will point the way!

I continue hiking through the forest, staying on the trail. Staying on the trail keeps me safe.

I keep hiking up the hill and will start to see the pond!

I made it to Echo Pond!

Sometimes I must change my plans because of unexpected things. That is okay!

If I want to keep hiking, I can continue following the trail.

As I hike, I can look for maps on the trail that will help me make choices of which trail to take.
