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
