Big Meadows ► Loft Mountain

Tuesday, October 18, 2016
Headed out of camp, going south to Loft Mountain, another campground in the park.  Of course we do this after a cup of coffee, .2 mile scenic vista "hike", laundry, and packing up Alex.  Loft Mountain is my favorite site so far.  The sites a huge and beautiful. 


Once we got Alex situated we took a short hike up Frazier Discovery Trail.  A short, 1.3 mile, moderate hike with fantastic views.  This hike is the only one thus far that we hiked where we started going at an incline.  All the others we started going down, which is completely backward in my head...that is until I realized we are on the top of the mountain to begin with.



           

Please don't think me vain, but I've been practicing the art of selfies....while Wilson was exploring, I kept myself busy....trust me there are more where these came from :)

        

Once the hike was done, we stopped for a shower and then followed up with a strong desire to "nest".  We got back to our site and set up the Clam (outdoor enclosure - which we did not name :)), made a fire, dinner, and unpacked the inside of Alex.  A lovely day/evening all the way around.


What exactly constitutes the difference between a walk in the woods and a hike?
