Blacktail, again

It has been an unusual Fall for us with several visitors and it is not over yet. We have much enjoyed the change of pace and the socializing, but our biking routine has suffered. It is cooler now, and we are waffling whether we start back on the bike or adopt our winter routine of hiking more.

Last winter we replaced our bike ride to Pearce with a hike around Blacktail Hill. We walk out the back gate, it takes about the same amount of time, the trail is a loop, we have a great stopping point for a short break, and Emma can come along. It is a winner.

We found the summer has been great along the trail: there is lots of grass and the trees are sporting new growth. It is good to be back there.
