Description
A lone gull flies over the Provincelands Trail, near Provincetown on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It is late October and the foliage is displaying autumn colors of orange, rust, and burnt umber. The sky is blue, and puffy, white clouds drift overhead. A wooden fence keeps walkers on the trail. The photo has a light texture and processed for a painterly effect. Photography by Brooke T Ryan.
According to the Cape Cod Bike Guide: "This trail is guaranteed to become a favorite for bicyclists, although the route can turn difficult at times because of its undulating hilly terrain. The paved network traverses much of Province Lands' 4,000 wild acres, winding through the quiet dunes of Provincetown and their unique coastal environment.
Along the path you'll explore cranberry bogs, marshes and skirt several saltwater kettle ponds too. From breathtaking marshland to exposed dunes to expansive shore views, these trails offer some spectacular scenery. An added convenience is the direct access to both Race Point and Herring Cove beaches.
During 2008-2009, a 3.2-mile section of the Province Land trails was repaved and renovated for safety and general improvements. A formerly hazardous stretch due to a steep grade was removed and rerouted. A pull-out was also added for observing Race Point Light. Two existing timber retaining walls were rebuilt and new ones installed. Both tunnels got warning beacons and signage alerting visitors to hazards. These changes are part of a larger 5-stage project to rejuvenate the entire path for cyclists and pedestrians, the final two phases being planned for the very near future."
