Summer kicked off for us with a hike high above Causey Reservoir. This was a new-to-us trail.  It's rated moderate and is an undulating (read: uphill both ways) path with a good balance of shade and views.  Incredible views. The upper fields were in bloom with some flowers we haven't seen on other trails. 

There were a lot of us but not too terribly much other foot traffic, even on a holiday weekend.  As you can see, despite being religious about my daily workout I am still lagging behind even the 7yo.  Yes.  It does at least afford me some wide angle shots of this incredible place and my people in it.
