Located just 10 minutes from my apartment, Ijams Nature Center was highly recommended to me by several people as a nice retreat away from the city. On a cold (almost freezing) Tuesday morning, right before the beginning of my work day, I headed out to hike a trail that was supposed to cover the perimeter of the park.
Sadly, it barely got me to the midpoint because of the trail closure. The trail came close to the water, and hiking on a boardwalk was rather peaceful, but the hum of the city together with its industrial smell just didn't give me that feeling that I was in nature.
It's interesting how when you take the pictures out of the context, they look pretty incredible. But with the sound and smell, the whole photo changes. I would like to see what this park would look like in the spring, but for now I don't think I will come back.
