Devil's Backbone
Aug. 27th, 2021 09:01 pmToday we went to Devil's Backbone. Back when I was in college, we were much closer, so we went there fairly often when we wanted to hike. This is another place we haven't been back to in a decade+ (oof, I feel old), so it was nice to visit it again!
It was... really hot. We left the dog home (his heat tolerance isn't GREAT, and we don't want to take any risks), but I got pretty tired pretty quickly. (At the same time, this was a really good level of endurance-pushing for me, so I wish we were close enough that I could do it more often!)
We'd also run some errands in the morning, so it was a later start than usual anyway.

View from the trailhead, looking toward the rocks.

A soaring raven. :) There are seasonal closures in the spring along the rocks, because ravens nest there. So I kind of hope this is one of them, ha.
