This was a good, challenging hike. All uphill, just in varying degrees of severity. It definitely gets points for the view; being able to see beautiful mountains the whole way up made it that much more enjoyable! And there was an awesome waterfall! And, just to blow my mind, SNOW! In JUNE! This hike really, I think, made me realize what I'm missing spending all my time in the city. The things I see on these hikes are amazing, and I'm always anticipating the next hike with even more enthusiasm than before! Major kudos to you, Dana, for starting this hiking group! What a wonderful way to enjoy the results of all the sweating we do in the gym! -Shannon
