This weekend the girls decided to come with me so I picked shorter distance trek. I decided also to continue in the same area I went in the previous hike. there was another loop beyond where I went last week that looked nice. Considering how much I enjoyed the previous weeks journey and that my OCD sense of completion wanted to check off all the trails in one area, this seemed like a good fit.
Sunrise was at 5:30, so we got up at the bright and early time of 4:30. Luckily, we had planned the night before for this hike, so all of our bags were packed and ready to go ahead of time. I recommend doing all of this prep the night before whenever getting up for early hikes. It's really easy to forget things when your sleep-deprived brain is stumbling through your morning routine. If you take care of as much as possible when you're alert and awake, you'll be much happier once you hit the trail.
