This is such a pretty trail I just had to take a picture. The real challenge, when bringing a camera to a place like this, is NOT to take pictures of every little bend in the trail. But sometimes you just can't help yourself. Imagine the feeling of all that open space around you.

By this time, I was beginning to feel the effects of having my toes pounded against the fronts of the boots, and not particularly liking it.
