Tumbledown West via Loop Trail
July 13, 2008
Keeping this simple (trying to enjoy my good life), no hike synopsis, except to say it was many times better than last weekend's hike. I really enjoyed the day, even enjoyed the physical exertion, and time spent with my family. Blackberry Blossoms? Tumbledown West Peak: At this point we were ...
