This hike miraculously begins in a grassy savannah. I was previously unaware that we had grassy savannahs in the wood river valley...
Then it climbs up through the trees in two wide switchbacks.
At the second turn, go out straight instead and take a look at Cobb peak. I have a theory that this trail meets up again with the main trail and is probably more scenic because it is up on the ridge, but we took the main trail and ran into the other one again later. The next hillside is covered in horsemint and smells incredable. Just ask Kendall. She took a smell-o-gram with her phone.
From the Saddle!!
Because we are adventurers, we decided that the trail is for sissies. We thought it might be more fun to take the water canal down. This is where our adventure really begins...
I have two favorite moments in hiking. One is getting to the top and seeing how far I've come. Then other is getting back down and seeing where I just was. Check out that saddle from the bottom...
