It has been a couple years since we hiked to the E so the kids jumped at the chance to make the hike this evening. The hike isn’t too difficult but the steep hillside does require some scrambling and always causes burning in various muscle groups. Even our energetic lab puppies, Rex and Lucy, had their energy reserves depleted by the time we reached the spectacular view. It really is a beautiful valley with our house and shimmering pond visible in the evening light. I don’t know which the kids enjoyed more, the spectacular view or the wind that greeted after we crested the summit of the bluff.
