Really Fun Group! Also enjoyed breath-taking (where's my inhaler?!) views, flute toons, and red-rock hearts!

Thank you all for the pictures, I definitely look forward to doing this hike in the future. Ronee, appreciate your sentiments; I will test the healing muscle this weekend on a short hike like North Mountain or Shaw Butte. Hope to see you all sooner; rather than later...

Thanks for saying so Donna, but I'm really not sure how much I actually lead. Ricky (and others) helped a lot. Thanks all! :)

It was a great hike with a great group! This hike, though, may be more suitable as a non-summertime hike (or an early morning hike).

Will have to catch this hike in the future as I pulled a muscle hiking locally this evening.

I'm going but I need to leave right after the hike so I'm going to drive. I can fit 3 people (4 if necessary but not very comfortable) in my Jeep Liberty if anyone wants to carpool with me. I also have a National Parks Pass which is valid for this hike. I will be at the carpool location listed above.
