It was a beautiful Saturday morning here in Southern California. The air outside was in the mid 50’s first thing in the morning, but the high of the day was going to be in the 80’s. The sky was clear and it would be a great day to hike.
Emily and I started at the Two Trees trailhead this morning. It was going to be our standard Saturday morning hike of about 3 miles. As we went up the trail, we took shorter breaks and kept moving. At one of our traditional spots to stop, she took of the day pack and rested against the rock. She was amazed at how wet her back was as it left a spot on the rock.
Once we reached the top we continued on and hiked the entire Edison trail which is about 3/4 of a mile ling. Emily was leading the way. She did not stop at the hill she stopped at last week. As we traveled the Edison trail, she announced that she really liked the trail. At the end of the trail we hiked on a dirt road back to the Two Trees trail.
We traveled quickly back down the trail. Once we reached the truck we looked at the mileage and times for the last three Saturday morning hikes. It seems we are getting better at this hiking thing.
