★★★★ 6.77 miles i have just three words to say about this hike: hikes with bathrooms! this is a major plus in my book, and got this walk an extra star. this was a pretty strenuous one, with some rugged elevation changes. lot of (dirt) road walking, too. but it went through some pretty spots, and […]
