Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Aetna Mountain 9.3.2024

 Wow, this turned out to be a very popular hike.  Their turned out to be 24 hikers on this 3.6 mile hike.  Since there were so many hikers, we divided into two groups.  Those that wanted to go a little faster went in the first group while those who wished to go slower went in the second group.  The weather cooperated very well until right at the end when it began to get pretty warm.  The hike lasted 2 hours and fifteen minutes.  This trail was very well maintained and there was only one spot where we had to climb through a downed tree.  This trail took us down about 730 ft and of course we had to hike back up the same distance.  Following the hike we some of us had lunch at the Blackstone Grill.
