More Steep Than Most

More Steep Than Most, a photo by McF Studios on Flickr.
I love being in the mountains. Unless you're new around here, this doesn't surprise you. I also prefer taking photos of places that aren't over photographed and this leads me to finding trails that most people avoid, for whatever reason. The reason this trail is underused is that it gains 2300 feet of elevation in 2 miles, roughly 8 inches up for every step forward. YIKES! This is another reason not to carry much gear. The entire day was filled with short bursts of rain, in this photo you can see the shadow of the next approaching shower falling over the distant valley.
Was it worth the effort...? I'll post that tomorrow.
Happy Walking!
