Running off of the Summit

We started our hike along the Gould trail on a beautiful clear day in 75degree weather. Most of the trees had fully filled out and the paths were well maintained and easy to follow. Very gradual climb at a moderate pace. At the summit we were greeted with stunning views over the valley and a group of hang gliders/paragliders running off of the summit top and soaring above our heads. Truly a beautiful sight. Took the Thunderbolt down to the South Bellows Trail, this section was EXTREMELY steep! Avoid if you have issues with knees. All together a truly amazing day of hoking. Two down, four to go!!
