My friend Sheryl wanted to go do a hike so I took her to do the Horton Derrick Loop. Parking lot was full and there were tons of people out enjoying the trails and the perfect weather. We made our way to the spring and then started up the Derrick. The initial chug slowed her down a bit but she hung in there like a trooper.

Next thing you know we were at the junction with the Promontory Trail. I stopped and told her about how steep it was and much to my surprise she asked it I wanted to do it? I said sure and she said she could see in my eye that I wanted to. Anyway up we went. The trail is wiped out in several places from erosion but we managed to make it to the top without issue. Well almost without issue. At one point she looked at me and said I think I want to kill you right about now.

Luckily she was kidding.

The rest of the trip was a breeze.
