Raccoon Mtn. East Rim Trail, 12.29.18

George was or hike leader on this hike and it was a great hike.  The weather started out a little cool and overcast but proceeded to warm up and gradually became clearer.  I would rate this 5.5 mile hike as easy as the elevation changes were minimal.  We had seven hikers on this hike and our average speed was 1.9 mph.  The hike lasted just short of three hours.  We had some beautiful overlooks and even saw a couple of mountain bikers.  The official photographer again had difficulties with his camera.  Something about formatting the memory card, so there are only a few pictures.  There are a couple maps showing where we were and the trail as well as an altitude graph.  If you would like to see these, click here.
