Rattlesnake Ledges
I finally was able to get out to the mountains and forest today. My last hike was OK until the next morning when my arthritic foot acted up. Depressing. I have been exercising it (per the PT therapist’s direction) and icing it and I tried it out again today. What I did was about the same length as the Granite Creek hike but not as steep.
As of now, a couple of hours after the end of the hike, foot is still fine. I am hoping it stays that way tomorrow as well.
It was a fun outing, I went partway up the Cedar Butte trail, then went back via Christmas Lake (below):
Christmas Lake/Rattlesnake Mountain
And then up to the Education Center and back.
There was a huge marathon going on, the Jack and Jill Downhill Marathon so the place was busy. I have to be impressed with people who can run 26 miles. Respect!
