Finding Trail Descriptions

So as not to repeat myself excessively, I am reducing the amount of description of trails that have already been posted. Please use the search function ( upper left) to find older posts which have more detailed trail descriptions and pictures. You can also use this to find specific hikes either by trail or mountain.

    #7 looks like a Black and Yellow Longhorn Beetle. You sure do see a lot of "wildlife" on your hikes.

    Thanks for your kind comments Cindy- sometimes we get lucky and conditions are right and the little buggers sit still long enough.
