Ravine Gardens State Park Day Hike, Palatka, Florida
Went for a hike at Ravine Garden State Park in Palatka, Florida. This is a popular place to go, and for good reason, especially when all of the Azaleas are in full bloom. They were not all blooming yet when we were there on January 17th. I would say by mid-February it will be AMAZING! Great day hike. <a href="https://www.floridastateparks.org/parks-and-trails/ravine-gardens-state-park">https://www.floridastateparks.org/parks-and-trails/ravine-gardens-state-park</a> LINK TO ALL OF THE GEAR WE USE <a href="https://www.facebook.com/In-Our-Element-108497397773101">https://www.facebook.com/In-Our-Element-108497397773101</a>
