Class 1 trail

Here's a nice little video of what a "class I" trail looks like.

NOC to Fontana Dam

The climb out of NOC was torture. 3000+ of up hill climb over a 6 mile walk. That night it started to rain and thunder storm throughout the night oh, and it got colder too. All in all a rotten day.

Along with this blog I have started another "blog" about the trail. Look for me on www.trailjournals.com Go to the site and look for me under the trail name of 'one step'

bridge & falls

Todays walk started with a walk across this bridge and this beautiful waterfall.Then 23 hard miles later I made it to the top of the fire tower.

Flowers

It's springtime up here in the mountains andthough the trees don't have any leaves yet the flowersare starting to pop up.

The trail

The trail comes in many forms from easy to very hard. Here's a short vidio of a nice section.
