Gotta Go Hiking

Wednesday the 29th of May was a fun day for me and my girlfriend.  We'd been surfing in the mornings starting Saturday the 25th through Tuesday the 28th.  The surf looked awful, so we went hiking in the afternoon instead.  This hiking trip was training for Montana later on this summer.

We went down to Irvine, Ca and hit the Shady Canyon Trail by starting at The Quail Hill Loop Trail parking lot.  We went off to the left, instead of following the usual path.  It was a good hike, really steep at the beginning.  We don't do this side of Quail Hill often, so it was a good change.

We hiked a total of 3.6 miles in just over 1 hour's time.  You can view the Training Peaks file here.
