This week saw a large increase in the amount of snowfall coming down in the Burlington area and beyond. The freshly fallen snow blanketed the ground and trees of Centennial (see Figure 1), reminding me of Christmas time. However, this mid-winter wonderland was starkly contrasted with the chirping of birds in the close distance. Since […]

On this particular cloudy Wednesday afternoon, the squirrels were alive along the Burlington Bike Path.

With the combination of all of the fallen acorns and colder weather, the squirrels here seem to be hastily preparing for winter. […]

Start the nearly 5 mile trek to the Winooski River Bridge on the Burlington Bike Path. This path runs along the entire waterfront, but the most popular pick-up location for the bike trail is right across from the ECHO Center and Creemee stand (quick pre-bike snack possibly). Follow this beautiful trail down passed the kids […]
