We have been wanting to hike Hite cove for about 8 years now....and what do we do?....decide to hike it around 5pm....we kind of roll that way.
After Sandi and Steve unload their truck {stuff for the Spring Event} we headed out for our hike.
We wanted to see what the wildflowers were up to....of course they were a little shy and closing up for the day....but still pretty.
Here's a little look at our hike.
Hazards: The first mile and a half of the trail winds along the hillside about a hundred feet above the river.( about what we hiked, before we headed back...didn't want to walk the trail in the dark) There are spots, however, where the drop off is sheer enough that a fall could kill you. =)
Pretty easy hike....we did it with-
- My recovering knee
- Sandi's broken toe
We are tuff that way...we come from Pioneer stock. =)
Crossed over Creeks, Streams and Bubbling Brooks... =)
We stopped here and had dinner- peanut butter sandwiches, Nutri Grain bars and water {remember we are still rolling last minute style.}
We want to go back and hike the whole trail....around 4 miles in.....and do it during the day light hours when the poppies are opened. =)
Happy Day
Note to self-
You'll find lots of poison oak here, few lots of mosquitoes....for our next hike remember to take mosquito repellent and anti bacterial wipes (porta potty your only option....if you are a girl that is}
Dan, Teresa and Sandi in this shot....can you find us?
Linking this up with "lets go on a date"
