Last month, I joined the hiking group for a very wet hike on a trail that was new to me called the Rippy Trail. The trailhead is off a dirt road that goes on for miles back behind Lazy Mountain and is just the most beautiful country. I really enjoyed the scenery back there, despite the rain. Actually, I think the rain made it even prettier than it would have been on a dry hike! There were a couple of creek crossings that I was not prepared for but managed to make it across with minimal soaking. As always, the group was a good bunch of ladies; we all had fun chatting with each other along the trail. We’re all about the same level of fitness (not including our guide who I think is part mountain goat and could climb Denali with no problem) so going with them is very easy and key.
I loved it so much I took my sisters on it a month later! We get together, the three of us, at least once a month – normally to have dinner, but occasionally we switch things up a bit and do something different. We did that train ride a while ago, if you recall. This time, we opted to pack ourselves a lunch and take a leisurely stroll up the trail. Neither of them had ever been there, so it was fun getting to show them what is now one of my favorite trails.
Good times!
