We got up at about 7 a.m. today and took the doggies for our morning walk. Our road pretty much dead ends into Shadow Mountain and since the weather has cooled off significantly we decided to make our first trek into the preserve. Initially there was a pretty steep hike and I was winded right away. There are several trails that are pretty flat and kind of circle the mountains, and one that goes way up. We stuck to the flat trails for now, but plan to come back often and eventually climb the trail that goes up. The dogs were pretty good, still need a little training especially going downhill. The views were nice although it was a little hazy...and we saw a coyote. We can't wait to get out and do some more hiking! Fall Break up north...here we come!
