The hike in this year was a tough one! The trail went up over the
hill, then down and then back up again on the other side of the
valley. Beautiful country though! Slow and steady got us there with
no trouble but we arrived just at dark. Mark came down to help us
haul the sled up that last hill and I was very appreciative!
