Sierra Vista Trek

Starting out on the Sierra Vista Trail
Dr. K, Becca and I did an extra-long hike on the Sierra Vista Trail this morning, and we didn't run into one other hiker.  We did kick up a small herd (5) of Mule Deer who, initially spooked by our presence, stopped to take a good gander at us before speeding along on their merry way.  It felt much cooler this morning than on the previous two morns, so we thoroughly enjoyed our trek.
