The start of the day's hike.
Left to right: Andy, Goranka, Tom, Terry, David, Zhimao, and Steve on the trail.
Still climbing at this point - we were all wondering if we'd ever head downhill.
This section of the trail is shared with horses.
Finally the highest point of the hike! Mostly downhill from here....

Lunch time! Left to right: Terry, David, Steve, Zhimao, Carol, Tom, Goranka, and Andy
This really was a nice place to eat lunch. Great views!
The trail winds through cow pastures, which means lots of “meadow muffins.” We were frankly amazed that this praying mantis could produce such a giant poop!
