These Pitcher Plants have been fruitful and multiplied. They look like little periscopes looking all around hungrily for insects and weary hikers. (Photo by Lone_Star)

This was a nice easy hike. Plenty of pitcher plants along the trail, hence it's name. Kinda unique if you've never seen these neat plants. A lot of the trail is a boardwalk, and very maintained where it isn't.

OK, so the Pitcher Plant isn't an alien life form, but it sure looks like one! :)

I hiked the Pitcher Plant Trail in conjunction with the Turkey Creek Trail. I will post my photos of the Pitcher Plant Trail here, but to avoid redundancy, my log of both trails can be read here.
