Hinton

One day my fiancé and I drove to Hinton. While he met with a friend to talk tech, I visited the Beaver Boardwalk on Maxwell Lake to check out the local wildlife. It is a beautiful spot, and I saw lots of birds, butterflies and dragonflies during my time there. I didn't see any beavers - at mid-day, they would have been sleeping in the large lodge they had built in the pond.
