Up and Over

Today we hiked our favorite go-to hike in the foothills.  We call it the "up and over" because we go up one canyon, over the ridge, and down the otherside.  Mary says it is a "short but meaningful hike." This describes it perfectly as it starts out flat, has some good hill climbing, some steep downhill, and ends with more flat. Today we did it in about two and a half hours.
