A Bear of a Mountain

Today’s hike was extremely enjoyable.  Amazing weather:  low 60’s to start (8:30) with highs in the mid 70’s.  Breeze was blowing the whole time which was greatly appreciated.  Sunny skies with a few clouds building to the north.  Trail conditions were great, except for a few dusty areas with loose rock….nothing crazy.  The hike was more intense in parts than I’d thought it would be, but not in a bad way.  It was a great workout with amazing scenery and plenty of spots to enjoy the immense vistas.  Our group of 8 spread out and went at varying speeds, but we all made it up and down without a hitch.  Will definitely do this hike again!
