September 19, 2011 -- Piedra River Trail

I like the first photo because, based on where Pat is standing, you get to see the size, and the majesty of the region, as well as the terrain along which we were hiking. This trail was very easy. We chose it because it was the day after a day off to heal my toe injury. Somewhere along this trail we encountered Williams Creek, a lovely fast running creek that intercepts the Piedra River. We met several people there who told us it was one of the best areas for fly fishing. Will have to learn that sport. That's for when we are in our 80's.

This second photo shows the harsh beauty of this environment. And silent. Except for the sound of the rushing river (more like a stream here, but larger a mile or two further along where the land levels out), it is absolutely quiet. In this particular place, we knew that there was not another human within a 1/2-1 mile radius). Amazing!!
