4.9 miles of hiking • 500' elevation gain •
First hike where I can extend the distance, but need to keep at about 5 miles. The Dr. thinks my meniscus has been frayed, but isn't torn. Across the entire back of my knee it is sore and stiff, but I believe the meniscus has been torn in a new area from where the surgery was, but without the same type of sharp pains. I still have the issue as of today, November 6, but it's not holding me back much as long as I slow down when it gets stiff or is steep. I also need to ice my knee more often, and warm water only stiffens the knee.
This is a very beautiful area, but way too many people for me. Very little elevation gain makes the hike easier.
