First of all, read my signature for my hiking abilities and I was 70 on March 21 of this year.
Now, look at the attached summary of my first hike since forever. The trail is the Profile trail to Calloway Peak in Grandfather Mountain State Park, NC.
A round trip from Hwy 105. The bulk of the elevation gain is in the first 3 miles. The "trail" from mile 2.7 to mile 3.0 is an inclined boulder field and climbs approximately 600'.
Argus summary:
Comparing the Profile trail to the trail description above, what's all the fuss about? Just curious.
BTW, reading "Called Again" includes an interesting version of starting a SOBO hike on June 20-21.
Cheers.
