Sleeping Giant Trail (Nounou West Trail)

Rich and I got up early one morning to hike to the top of the Sleeping Giant Mountain. We went up the west trail which is about 1.5 miles. We started at an elevation of 400 feet and ended on the giant's head at an elevation of 1241 feet. The hike was straight up, muddy, and full of exposed tree roots. The surrounding forest, unexpected orchids, and views were amazing. We enjoyed every minute of our journey and felt invigorated when we reach the top.

Sorry I have not commented in a while, but your trip looks like so much fun. I think I have mostly been jealous of the shorts and t-shirts, but also all the awesome opportunities to experiment with your camera and lens. We have a lens for our camera that we haven't even used yet. Every time we set an activity to use it, something comes up. You will have to give us all your pointers when we get back to Gridley.
