Trip Report

Fifteen hikers showed up to tackle huffy puffy hills on a lovely, dry morning hike. The hike started on a positive note with yummy chocolates supplied by our leader. Next, we spent a little time sharing things we are grateful for before heading into the south hills. We made a 4.5 mile clockwise loop up west Amazon and Owl to the Ridgeline trail and then meandered through neighborhoods, including taking a short detour to see EWEB’s new water towers, which are massive. The hike ended where we started on Martin Street.
