Solo Hike

People that don't care for rivers and trails, may as well skip over my blogs in the summer. That's a lot of what we do in the summer. Our children are grown. We have mountains in our backyard and we're not afraid to use them.
Today I went out alone. It's wasn't as much fun, but my husband already had a physically active day and didn't need anymore.
He had already 1) Weeded in the church garden, (2) Helped a neighbor move and (3) worked on the sprinklers.
My list for the day wasn't nearly as ambitious, but it did include getting out for a walk.
This trail is a 15 minute drive from the house. It's easy, familiar and it's a busy one.
My only fears are: (1) Seeing a rattlesnake (2) being run down by a mountain bike or (3) being approached by a large unleashed dog.
The unleashed dog thing has happened a couple of times. So far I haven't had to see a rattlesnake.
Things that I like to see on the trail are (1) friendly couples (2) Scrawny dudes in B.Y.U. T-shirts; actually the nerdier the better. (3) Boy scouts (4) girl scouts.
This blog has both pictures and video. I hope you enjoy the virtual stroll in the woods.
The first picture is one of our favorite places to start on this trail. It goes right into shady woods and it's a fairly smooth trail that follows the river pretty closely.
