8 MILE

A fantastic day for an 8 mile hike up Dog Mt. 3 friends and I worked our way to the top and back down friday afternoon. The trail we took was an approx 2800 foot elevation gain in 3.5 miles, this translates to steep, very steep! I was dang near crippled because I am no where near being in this kinda shape, but it was so worth the beauty, I would do it again this weekend. You cannot really tell from the photos, but the fields on top, are acres and acres of wildflowers, this isn't meadow grass, it's all flowers just about, as far as you can see! Thank you to my friends for going so very very slow and making it a great journey. Here are some more photos to share from the hike. And suprizingly, I wasn't half a sore as I thought I would be the next day or two after.... Absolutely amazing!
