A few weeks back a friend told me of an out of the way trail up the mountain that was easy and reached a great viewing area. He told me the trail was ...ne and a half miles long and not too many people knew of it so it was remote. I grabbed my pack and hopped in to the car for the 20 minute drive to the lot. When I arrived there was only one other car in the lot, a small vw with a bunch of stickers. I started on my way.
