Fall Walks In and Everyone’s Head Turns

But by the time we returned to within 45 minutes of the parking lot, at around 11:30 a.m., there were dozens and dozens of people enjoying the scenery. Families, babies, dogs, children, older folks, foreigners, tourists, you name it. It was the Disneyland of Hiking.

Burning Bear, Dead Cow and Talking Ravens

I wondered what the take-away message was from this hike and I decided there wasn’t really a message. I had stepped into the living (and dining) room of Burning Bear Creek, intruded on a lunch buffet, eavesdropped on afternoon gossip, and tromped through what may have been a period of bereavement or rest for a tribe of cows. It was regular life and death drama, going on as it does every day, every month, every year, whether humans see it (and hear it) or not.
