Twenty-two intrepid hikers braved cool temperatures that felt downright cold due to the wind that whipped up whitecaps on Cove Lake.  We parked in the free parking area on the north side of the dam and hiked the loop in a clockwise manner.  We warmed up nicely when we left the main trail to climb to the lookout to view Mt.

Who would have thought on December 2 that fifteen Trailblazers would have took off hiking to Hawksbill Crag in short sleeves. Of course it was a nice hike down to the Crag enjoying the rock formations along the bluff line. But it was a hot hike back up hill.
