Here is a brief run-through of the trail
Story
It was a great day for a hike. The views were good (I've seen quite a few lately), but the best part of this hike were the people. Everyone on the trail seemed much more talkative... maybe it was me?
It was great to socialize a bit and the weather was great. My watch recorded 1400 calories. In around 3 hours! There was a lot of steep incline, however several people jogged right past me up the hill (while I was panting and catching my breath!).
SNAKE!!!!
40°F out and a snake slithers across the path. I thought they hibernate when it's cold.
Breathtaking views... I know that word is used a lot, but what better word is there to describe this view of the gods?
