Conor and I went out for an early morning hike, this time we stayed at lower altitude thanks to everything beginning to bloom down here with the early spring. We tackled the 6 miles round trip of Picture Rock Trail again and made sure to take the time to snap...
Friday morning, Conor and I drove up Hwy 14 to hike up Mt McConnel up at 8000ft. It was not to be a particularly long hike at only 4.6 miles round trip, or hard hike with only 1400ft altitude gain, but as luck would have it we would still fail...
