Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Pigeon Mountain

There were 10 people on this hike.  It was a great hike with everybody enjoying it.  The flowers were just beginning to bloom.  In the next couple of weeks, they should be in full bloom.  The total distance of this hike was seven miles.  I would rate it as severe.  Click HERE if you would like to see a few pictures.

Snow Falls and Laurel Falls 3.23.13

This hike started with eight hikers.  The day was rather cloudy.  The group split up at the where you choose to go to Laurel Falls or Snow Falls.  Two people went to Laurel Falls.  When the group reached Morgan Creek, they turned and went to Buzzard Point and had a short lunch.  About then, the sun came out and everyone had to peel off clothes to prevent overheating.  The falls and streams had plenty of water in them.  To see a few pictures, please click HERE or on the picture to the right. I would rate this hike as severe.
