The temps are finally cooling enough that we can get out hiking again.We decided to attemt to summit Pine Mountain at 10,365 ft. today.
The sign says 3 miles but it is straight uphill. The climb was brutal - steep,
rocky,steep, overgrown and did I mention steep?
The fall colors were fabulous.
The views looking back toward Zion were beautiful.
Half-way up.
Quail and Sand Hollow reserviors in the distance.
Climbing higher and higher.
A view from about a mile from the summit...
Which is where we turned around and started back down.
