I hiked with the Valley Wanderers back up to Stonehenge via the steep, narrow rough trail we marked last week. Our goal was to make certain that our previous markings were still there and that they were visible and easy to follow while climbing up. We had marked it heading in the downhill direction. That is such a steep trail! It took everything I had to keep up with the others. But I do like being back there on the back side of Lazy Mountain. It has a beautiful view of Matanuska Peak and the entire valley. It was cold and windy at Stonehenge, but there was a bit of sunshine and it wasn't raining or snowing. Temperature wise, it was actually fairly warm in the low 40's. The fall colors are gone and it is starting to look a whole lot like winter, just without the snow. The peaks and the ridges are covered with snow though. It won't be long before we are doing this trail wearing snowshoes.
