Rose Peak

Lovely hike through the hills. Some steep sections, particulary around miles 2-5. Beautiful golden grasses. Cows with young calves. A very nice day hike. Also

Started all trail after little more than a mile.

It was a l-o-n-g day but such a pretty hike! This was the longest one-day hike I have done so far. We started very early
