We were finally able to go on our first hike of the year. We always go hiking as a family, but Dennis was at work, and we were really excited to start hiking. I was a little worried about hiking without Dennis, but I thought I would try it. I wasn't afraid of getting lost, I was more afraid of the mountain lions. When we were coming down the mountain, we saw some huge paw prints in the mud. There was no way it was a dog. I told the kids to hurry and get down. Once we were down, we were walking in our neighborhood. My neighbor came up to us and told us there were 2 mountain lions sited about an hour ago. Thankfully, we had our dog with us. I'm not sure our dog would have protected us, I think he would have just tired to play with the lion.
We aren't in the city anymore : )
Anyhow, we still had fun. I don't think I'll go on that trail anymore without Dennis. Can't wait for more hiking!!!

The view - If you look at the top of the picture, you can see the ski slopes

This whole hike was uphill!
