Since this trail won't be completely forested like the previous ones, hats, sunglasses, and what-have-you are recommended, yeah?

Hi Andy,
Thanks for mapping this out for everyone. The first 20 minutes of the hike is open but the rest should be covered up. There are some openings but there's a good amount of shade. But you can always bring a hat and sunglasses, they always come in handy...see you there!

Great pics, guys. That beehive is pretty big and we passed by it a number of times and it was just a couple of feet away and no one noticed it up until we were leaving. Good thing they were pretty mellow.

^^^well we really didn't disturb the hive but at the same time i didn't take any chances I was gone the second i saw it and warned you guys of it. I was not going to chance it and find out the hard way that one of us could be allergic to its sting(s)
Thanks again Ted for another good hike we look forward to the next one.

Justin you showed a lot heart making it to the top even if it was killing you. continue to do the hikes with us, you can only get better. just remember it is always hard to get back into shape and easy to maintain it.
