We walked this trail early in the morning because storms were setting in around us. It was a little creepy to be on this trail after hearing about a bear in the area. We talked a lot and I made a mental note to bring my "bear bell" with me next summer. We unfortunately witnessed a biker fall off the trail and roll down an embankment head over bike. Luckily she wasn't hurt and her companion was able to get her up and back on the trail. It reinforced the "no bike riding" policy that Hallie and I have. I don't like to ride and she can't ride. It was a fun hike and we were glad to be able to fit it in.
