The Crags Trail

It's hiking season again, and last weekend a friend and I hiked the Crags. It's a very pretty trail with lots of photo opportunities.
There are nice views up the valley.
It's fairly high altitude, topping out at 10,808 feet (3,294 meters) above sea level according to my GPS watch, and there was still some ice along the creek.
But I love being in the forest.

  2. Yahoo! It's hiking season. Looks like a good hike. It's always nice to walk by a little snow and cool off on a hot day.

  8. I like how the tree shadows play on the path and the ice at the creek seems determined to outlast its welcome. :)
