This was a fun hike that started at 2:40 in the afternoon. The beginning of the trail had some residual snow and ice, but about 10 minutes into the forest we began hiking on dry ground. We had planned on going all the way to the peak but our plans changed when we went to cross the small creekthat Keaton and I saw on our hike in November (2006). The 'small' creek was now a raging river and could not be crossed. Disappointing, yet still a great day of being out in the sun after a lonbg winter and enjoying God's creation. We arrived back at the trailhead at 4pm.
