Going to Naniboujou Lodge and Restaurant is like stepping back in time to the 1930’s. We stopped at Naniboujou for lunch after a morning hike to Devil’s Kettle waterfalls at Judge C. R. Magney State Park. The vibrant colors and patterns are eye catching and definitely get your attention. The dining room is an amazing piece of artwork. The beauty can be seen in photos but pales in comparison to being there and seeing it in person.

We drove to Charles A. Lindbergh State Park to enjoy a relaxing hike along Pike Creek during the early autumn season. The weather was perfect for hiking. The Park has seven miles of hiking trails that pass through a forest of large pine, oak, and aspen trees. We came across an adorable little owl near the top of a pine tree while hiking one of the outer trails. The highlight of the park for us was the hiking trails that follow the edge of Pike Creek. The bridges crossing the river along with the leaves beginning to turn colors made for a very picturesque hike.
