La Luz Trail - October 24, 2009

We decided it was time to do one of our yearly pelgrimages... La Luz Trail, 7.5 miles one way, 3210 feet elevation. You can see the radio towers at the top. Our goal was the Upper Tramway Terminal to the south of the towers. It was a gorgeous fall day with a kaleidoscope of colors... There were 3 of us on this hike; we invited our friend Mark to join us on this outing.

Surprise, surprise! We started to notice patches of snow past the 5-mile mark and soon we were plowing through soft snow (no ice!) just about all the way to the top.

We did it!
