Happy Trails.

In the East the forest is more open though generally higher, and there is enough leaf litter to make blazing trails the best method of marking them.

Here it is different, there is no leaf litter so a trail does not get disguised and is easier to follow, except across bare rock where there are often cairns to guide the way.  There is the issue of herd paths where one person's off trail excursion invites another until it's hard to say which is the 'real' trail.  The kicker is that many of these herd paths are false starts, perhaps going to a place to take a photo or a pee or simply a wandering.

Today I am going to try something different, for the most part the photos herein will be pictures of the trail, usually with a bit of scenery visible in the distance or off to the side.
