Nice solo hike today (kids stayed with us Friday into Saturday morning, so no hike yesterday) up Cedar Butte, back via the Christmas Lake trail.

Beautiful day, about 50-ish and sunny.  Great fun.  And I had forgotten that this trail actually has some challenge and some decent views.

Looking straight at Mt. Washington and its neighbors.  Nice!

UPDATE 3/16/2018 – Did this same hike again today, this time with Carl.  Fun hike, beautiful day.  We met Ken afterward for coffee (Ken has been having problems with his legs – bummer).
