Down and Back
Funny how the same trail can be so different depending on the day/time. On the way in we headed down this trail in the AM. Nice cool temperature and crisp morning air. We met a nice couple with an adorable bernese mountain dog puppy, and spent time chatting and snacking in the shade. Really a pleasant hike in.
On the way back we put off heading out early in the morning in favor of swimming and photos. We got on the trail around 11am and hit this long exposed stretch around 1pm. It had to have been in the mid 90's that day. Sweating our butts off, huddling in any small piece of shade we could find, the way back up the ridge was not nearly as pleasant.
Same trail, different time of day, completely different experience.
