BACKTRACK - Mural Hill

Beautiful, sunny day hiking with 24 people - and 4 others doing their own thing. Thanks so much to Brad & Dave for pruning the trail ahead of us, and Dave also added trail guiding ribbons with amusing comments. A few stayed at the saddle, some climbed straight to the top and others took the side trail there. We took photos a few places along the way - Jay took the group photo, and check out Elizabeth's cool 360 shots from the top with the links below. The dogs, Bee & Sheila had a sudden fight at lunch, but Kevin broke it up quickly. Hot walk back, and some of us topped it all off with a beer at the Brewery. I love that hike, but it seems to be getting a little harder.  -Larry

Here are links to two 360-degree photos from the Mural Hill hike. You can manipulate them with mouse or touch, and if you click on the word "Fisheye" you can bring up other views. -Elizabeth
