Mountainkat went hiking December 30, 2015 5 miles 2,500 feet gained
(Dec 31) One last hike this year. We hit snow around 1000 feet elevation. It was packed down and icy. Traction helped. There was about a foot of snow at the summit and bright blue, sunny skies!
After the hike, we drove to Lookout State Park on the coast, walked a couple miles on Netarts Spit, and carried on a sort of tradition for us the last few years - to watch the sun set on the Pacific on the final day of the year. A nice ending to a pretty good year -- I am so glad to have met some great new trail friends this year! --And, I am incredibly grateful for every second of every minute of every mile I spent hiking this year. Every day out there was a gift!
Cheers to 2016!
