Today we hiked "Boulder Canyon Trail to Overlook". According to the database that we were given, the length was 5 miles, moderate to difficult and we hiked an evaluation of 1000 feet. We were told that the worst part of the hike was the beginning. We tend to disagree, the beginning was straight up and then it would level out and we would climb again. There were thoughts in our mind to stop and head back down, but we did not. We kept saying "Let's see what is around this curve", needless to say we kept going. We are so glad as the end result was breath taking. Today we saw "Weavers Needle" from a different angle. As you looked the other direction, you saw "Canyon Lake".
After a brief rest and lunch we started back down. We thought the trip back down was going to be easier since the trip up was difficult. Not true, Liz slipped and landed on her behind. What a tough broad no injuries. We saw a tarantula. The tarantula must of known that everyone wanted to take pictures, it just sat there so everyone could take a look and take pictures. The rest of the trip was straight down. We were the last group down today, Karol took on the role of the guide. She did a great job, we made it to the bottom without any other issues.
Temperature today was about 80 degrees. It was a good thing that there was some wind while we were hiking otherwise it would have been really hot.
Another terrific day was had!
