Wales- Betws-y-Coed

Betws-y-Coed is a small town in Wales located in Snowdonia National Park. This was a river that flowed through the town.
Korey works with Ben at Cameron and is also training in Leeds. His wife Maria and I get to enjoy the sights of Leeds together while the husbands are at work.
We took an 8 mile hike the day we arrived. There was a variety of terrain to cross along the way. It was a nice hike.
The four of us rented a car and took off to Wales for the weekend to enjoy the outdoors.
This part of the trail goes down an old Roman road. Transport would have been a bit rough for the Romans.
Into the forest we wandered. (It's not as dark as it looks in there.)

We are standing on an old miners' bridge. There were ruins of an old mine all along the trail.
Swallow Falls
The end of the trail opened up into a soft green valley.
