The Long Loop

Wow that was a long hike. My Mom and I hiked the Hunger Pinnacle loop, which was about 7.3 miles. We left one car in the pinnacle parking lot and drove the other to Hunger. Where we started our adventure by hiking up the Hunger trail. It is a relatively challenging hike and pretty steep.

While hiking up, we met some great people, Pam and Terry, and chatted with them at the summit while we rested our legs to begin the next stage. The Skyline Trail was much more primitive than the Hunger trail. I could tell we were the first ones on it, because we kept walking through spider webs.
Luckily about half way down the trail, we passed a group heading in the other direction so no more spider webs. The path would definitely have been easier if it had not rained the day before because it was very wet and muddy in places.

Moss Carpet 

Moss covered everything from rocks to dead trees. Everything was green.  Eventually we made it to the Pinnacle were we took a good lunch break to refuel before the last mile and a half back to our car. 

I think someone liked the hike.
