Hiking Club (Week 3 - Hidden Valley) - Blogged by JME

On June 7th, we hiked up Hidden Valley. This was N8's and my first time on this trail. It was really tough but very beautiful. All along the trail were these vibrant yellow flowers cheering us on.




We hiked on switchbacks for a while in the sun and finally came up over a ridge and hiked back behind the mountain we were hiking on. Things leveled out as we hiked through a bit of a forest and then everything opened up to reveal parts of our mountain range we had never seen.




We also saw this rock structure that someone had built. As far as we could tell it was an alter to give thanks that they finally made it to the top.




If we hiked around the mountain a little ways to the south we could see back into the valley where we came from. What a sight!




It was such a tough hike but it was nice and we were both happy we had accomplished it.
