At the first break, hike leader Steve explains the route as the others pay rapt attention

Seeking out the first geocache

Here it is!

Pointing out where the trail departs from the dirt road. You'd never see it if you didn't know it was there
|
|
 |
As we're about to head up the trail, two more join us

On the way up

The trail is steep so we take a lot of breaks. And it's going to get a lot steeper!
|
|
|
 |
Yup, we're headed up there!
|
|
 |
This section is quite loose and therefore slippery
|
|
|
 |
We're still not at the steepest part
|

 |
Pausing to take in the steepest part

Looking back from the bottom of the steepest part

 |
We go up this section one at a time so any rocks that are dislodged don't hit the person below. There's nowhere to get out of the way.

 |
As the people in the front climb the steepest section, others are still making there way up
