While it might not be your typical mountain climb, Mike quickly learns that the steep descent and especially the climb back up is no walk in the park! He shares his experience navigating the rocky terrain in chilly winter air, reminding us all about the importance of being both physically and mentally prepared for hikes—even the ones that don't sound too intense.

The bare trees open up the vistas, showcasing a serene setting that’s often overshadowed in summer months. He captures the essence of feeling both small and profoundly connected to nature, digging deep into the land's history.
