Super Steep

November 11, 2014

Tonight right after work, I hiked the super steep trail from Martin Street.

I haven't been on this trail for a few years.  Last time I was up it was winter and there had just been a storm.  A few hundred yards in, there was a big tree down across the trail, and people had been going around it.  An informal trail had worn in where they were going around.  Now the tree has been cleared from the trail of course, but what's left is partly rotted away, and the informal trail is now well worn in, to the side of the main trail.

The leaves are still in their colors.  It was so quiet up there, I heard a single maple leaf rattling against a limb in the wind and it sounded like distant footsteps.

Tomorrow is a rest day, and Thursday I'm going take a long lunch and climb with Mike.
