The Salmon Hole!
Everyone left campus on Friday. Unfortunately, I’ve been in my dorm all weekend, patiently awaiting my Monday flight. This assignment gave me something to do! I’ve never been out towards the Winooski area. I couldn’t believe how close this place was to my dorm.
Getting There!
The first thing you see is the big bridge going over the river. I walked across it and snapped a few pictures, trying not to seem like a tourist. The blog I was following, name unknown, had a nice little description of how to get down for a closer view which I don’t think I would’ve found on my own!
Centennial Comparison!
The trees and other vegetation here are very similar to that of Centennial, but a few new ones I haven’t seen like American Bittersweet and Riverbank Grape. Most of the leaves have fallen now, leaving the trees quite sad and bare. Although I haven’t been to Centennial in a bit, I assume its the same there.
Unlike my spot, this place is pretty loud. You can still hear the bustle of outside life like traffic and the airplanes above. If you zone out enough you can start to just hear the rushing water and rustling leaves.
Today was very chilly and the wind made the cold much more unbearable. I think this is a place I will definitely want to explore more in the future on a warmer spring day!
