Sights of Centennial Trail

 The historic sites of the Centennial Trail, are not the only sites worth checking out along this section of the Kekekabic Trail. I couldn't find anything definite on the name of the lake. From what I read it may be either a large pond or drainage from the old mines reshaping the area.

 

Either way, the purple and green hues contrasting to the lightly iced, perfectly reflective glass lake  surface made for some unforgettable sights.

 From high up on the hills, you get a broad view of  both the valley, and the results of the Ham Lake fire.

 I enjoyed being able to see the layers of hills for miles, skewed by the atmosphere.

 It looks like we stumbled upon the old railroad area. My camera didn't like adjusting to the lighting in there, but it made for an amazing, paint-like photo. This could be spooky with the right editing.

 From certain areas you can see several frozen lakes.

I just loved how this tree is still standing, despite the way the fire weakened it.

     The trail ends a little weird. It does not take you back to the parking lot, or the main trail. Instead, it takes you to the road, where you have to walk back for a quarter mile or so. Despite the strange ending, the trail was very enjoyable and I think if you check out this trail, then you won't regret it.
