Feeling stronger and yet still a challenging hike with substantial slippery scree and some intense elevation gains/losses throughout. I took the loop counterclockwise and would probably do it this way again even though I slipped a couple of times coming down that steep western section of the loop.
Love my new hiking trail runner shoes…what a difference it makes! Saw a bobcat on the dirt fire road at the beginning of the hike, early in the morning to start my day.
