It had been pretty much destroyed in places after the storms the previous winter. Deb of course had to find out why they were using the rock, chain link combination. According to the guys working there, it was the most cost-effect way to fix the trail in places. Bella didn't have to much trouble, although it was funny watching her try not to step on the wire.<br /><br />The trail to the top is somewhat decieveing, it actually winds around with switch-back and stairs in the really rough spots. There is a fence around the top, I would imagine to keep people from falling.Megnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738086884148295840.post-32192042518749546422009-10-10T05:35:21.697-07:002009-10-10T05:35:21.697-07:00Those trees you commented on look like some sort o...Those trees you commented on look like some sort of birch.

We had a brilliant place where only locals went which ends in a waterfall. They paved, bridged and put fencing in and now bus tours like you describe go there... price of progress so we have to look further afeild.<br /><br />What I like about hiking is its not dull for the dogs, they get to explore and run... yours looks a brilliant place.. very similar to what we have.. I think its also the solitude I like, just me and the dogs.<br /><br />Weird stuff to put on the path. Definitely and OH&S risk. The would close a trail like that here till it was fixed.. especially with oldies on it... love seeing a little of your world<br /> ps left comment yesterday but it got lost i thinkChelsea + Shilohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13388334956603241443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738086884148295840.post-37707931930683571122009-10-09T19:34:47.608-07:002009-10-09T19:34:47.608-07:00You guys are so lucky!

Mom likes to take me hiking too, but since we are in Southern California its prety dry and brown, not all green like where you are. I hardly ever find water to romp in either, unless its the ocean (which I dont mind at all!)<br /><br />wags, wiggles & slobbers<br />MurphydogMurphyDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03114806742316350954noreply@blogger.com
