The Trail
We were a little apprehensive starting out on this hike today as it was going to be our highest elevation gain since we began hiking just less than a year ago. In the parking lot on the way to the trail head I heard one fellow say to his friends. "I don't mind telling you, after the kegger last night I don't feel so hot today" I figured we had a chance to make it up if he was brave enough to do it hungover with a gwall of keg beer in his stomach.
We moseyed up along the trail at a steady clip. The trail was marked every half mile on the way. Well some of the signs were missing in between but "No Harm" you could figure it out. The book we read said it was like a rocky rooty trail but it was nothing like the trail we did up to Lake Serene last year. The book was giving us the blarney again.
The hike up had a lot of nice trees to look at. There were a few people going up and coming down when we left for the top around 9am. The hike up took us 113 minutes to do the four miles up. Not too shabby for two old goats.
There was a wee bit o snow up top but didn't get in our way at all. Since today was Mothers Day. I built a Dolmen on top in memory of my mother Mary who died last year. Also for my friend Ann Murnane a mother who died this year. Also for a living mother Joyce Muir here.
Going back down took us 92 minutes in all.
The trail while a steady hike all the way up was quiet pleasant even for us so go out and do it when you get a chance.
