Hike Wheaton Regional Park and Brookside Gardens - Scenic 2.5mi
Details
Its that time of year when Brookside Gardens should be filled with bombastic spring colors. Let's take an evening stroll to check them out.
We will meet up near the restrooms at Wheaton Regional Park (go left at the roundabout). We will head northeast and enter the gardens, making a large loop to see all of the perimeter areas, but not necessarily examining every exhibit. From there, we will backtrack slightly and loop past Pine Lake and the carousel on the way back to the start.
Total distance should be 2.5 miles or less, depending on how much meandering we do in the garden. Our start point is about 120' higher than the gardens, but it is just one big gradual slope that you will barely notice.
