A hike in the mountains where it is a little cooler. We hiked to Gold Knob which is just over 11000ft in altitude, to get there we climbed about 1600ft in about 2 miles, what a workout.
I saw some bear sign but no bears. As usual, clouds start forming and you need to get off the peak in case a thunderstorm develops. Trip back down was much easier
