In reply to Laura. Thanks Laura! We are always so happy to hear that our trip reports are useful to others! You should definitely return and continue up the trail, I, personally, think it is worth it!

Just found your site – love all of your photos! And your descriptions of the hikes are amazing… giving me lots of good ideas of hikes to go on. I did this hike last year but only to the waterfall.. your photos are making me want go again!

In reply to Karen Johannsen. Karen, I'm so glad you are getting back out on the trail and that my post is helping you prepare! You'll have to let us know how it went! Hopefully the group goes at a good pace for you. If I'm hiking in a group setting I always do my best to avoid "group mentality" and go at my own pace and complete the hike on my own schedule. Good luck to you!

Thank you Maura, for the wonderful pictures and detailed description of this hike. I have just joined my first hiking group….Zen hiking and photography and am excited to be doing this hike. It’s my first hike after a year of recovering from a meniscus tear in my knee and being 72 years old I was reassured that I could manage this hike. I would never have remembered to bring water shoes and a towel though so I appreciate that reminder, plus all the encouragement to take breaks, although I have been told that this group goes slowly so we can take pictures….which is just fine by me. Thanks again….keep up the writing.

In reply to Ingunn. Oh bummer about your pelvis :( My midwife did warn me that that could happen and to be extra cautious while hiking. We totally forgot our water appropriate foot ware! I blame pregnancy brain!

Awesome job! That trail is pretty rocky, too, so I’m extra impressed by your pregnant hiking prowess…and you’re going to have the cutest, coolest bump photos for your baby book. 😉 You look wonderful and healthy! I hope I’ll be able to hike something like that in my third trimester, but my pelvis is starting to pop out of alignment and say no.

Oh, and I usually walk right through streams since my trail runners are made of mesh and dry right away. Back when I wore boots, I would bring water shoes (crocs or something) if I knew there was a big stream since crossing barefoot isn’t recommended (it can be a little riskier, injury-wise).
