Hiking In The Clouds

A week into the new year I hiked up Dimple Hill (which I used to do weekly with Hazel) through the clouds.  I didn't get out quite as early as I wanted, so some of the clouds were gone by the time I made it to the top, but it was still a gorgeous day and hike.

I used to hike this trail once or twice a week - even before Hazel came along.  It was a great workout as it goes pretty much straight up 1000' and takes 25-30 minutes.  It's how I got into shape for climbing Hood with Sam.
