From Office to Trail 🌼🚵♂️
Wrapped up work and headed to Hawes.
Cloudy, cool, flowers out in places I don’t usually see — especially those yellow ones tucked into the shade near the top.
Climbed Twisted Sister and was getting ready to drop Big Sister when I heard footsteps… a hiker coming up the trail with big headphones on.
Big Sister is directional, and there are signs at the bottom, so it wasn’t ideal — but we just said hello, agreed it was a beautiful day, and went on our way.
Honestly, I was just glad I heard him before the descent. A good reminder to stay aware out there and look out for each other.
