While visiting Grayton Beach State Park at Santa Rosa Beach Florida a month ago, we walked the Barrier Dune Trail. Located directly off the parking lot, this short trail meanders along beach dunes and through a fascinating scrub forest.
The weather-beaten sign showing the trail. We picked up an interpretive leaflet and started.
Walking through a scrub archway, the narrow trail continues along until it turns out of sight.
Karl stands at the farthest point on the trail, just before it goes back into the scrub.
As we started, we noticed a young couple finishing the trail. The young man was carrying the woman on his back and both laughed as she nearly fell off. We discovered why when we arrived toward the end. Water covered the trail at that point. As older, more mature adults, (OK, also heavier and one of us has a bad back), we backtracked rather than try the piggyback route.
