I’ve been tracking a forgotten trail that’s said to wind through the trees in a pattern that mirrors the Fibonacci sequence. It’s a puzzle in the woods, and it might reveal a story buried in the forest’s geometry. Curious to hear if you can spot the logic behind it.

You’re essentially looking for a trail where each segment’s length or the spacing between points follows the Fibonacci progression 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, and so on. In practice that means if you start at a base point and then go a certain unit, you turn and go the same unit again, then a bit longer—twice as long as the first step—then three times that, and so on. In a forest setting you could mark a tree or a stone every time the segment ends, and the angle you turn each time could also follow a consistent rule, such as a fixed turning angle that keeps the path roughly spiraling. The “story” you’ll uncover is simply the geometric manifestation of the Fibonacci spiral: as the steps get longer, the trail will curve outward, creating a visual arc that looks like a natural golden spiral. If you record the exact distances or angles, you’ll be able to plot the path on a map and see that the pattern isn’t random but follows the recursive rule that each new length is the sum of the two previous ones. That’s the logic behind the trail.
