a pretty trail
This is a great hike for creaky knees, bad hearts and small children. I've done it with all three. Beautiful easy trail graveled all the way and very gentle elevation gain. My husbands' 'full metal jacket' of stents worked just fine. No caves are showing yet, but the snow is melted on the trail except for a little at the very top. We heard a couple of big cracks and saw a crevasse open up toward the top of the snowbank. Downed trees at the end of the trail should serve as a warning as to the power of sliding snow!
