Mailbox Peak

So Bob was out of town for two weeks on a business trip so I was doing house projects and working down through the list of hikes I want to do - one of which was Mailbox Peak.  Sounded like a cool trail - and there is a mailbox at the top of the peak. Sounds like fun right?

I knew it was going to be steep - 4,000 feet in 2.5 miles - but HOLY HELL was it steep.  Actually if you thought going up was bad - going down was pure hell.  I had to just pound it out because if I stopped I probably wouldn't have gotten back up. I feel like a pretty experienced hiker and this trail was unlike any trail I have ever been on.  Not for the faint of heart.  It was the ONE TRAIL where I wish I had brought my damn hiking poles.

Beautiful flowers

This is what the trail was like the whole way
