Walk to Rivendell

Tour by Ranger Jewel

170-174 Miles

Have you noticed that the ground is starting to get a bit boggy in places? Look over there, there's another little pool--we've started seeing more of those, too! The brush is beginning to give way to reeds and rushes and they are just full of little birds. Don't you love that pretty little warble that they make?

The dampish ground is warning us that the Midgewater Marshes can't be too far ahead. We'd better enjoy this comparatively dry part of our hike while we can!
