Finally, a gorgeous spring day for a long hike in the mountains! Blake and I did the 7+ mile round trip hike on the Rohrbaugh Trail to Red Creek Canyon in the Dolly Sods Wilderness. This is a fabulous hike through old spruce forest leading to a rocky promontory overlooking the Red Creek drainage. Other than in the fall, you get the overlook mostly to yourself (true solitude is a rare thing in the Mid-Atlantic, with over a third of the nation's population crammed into the Eastern Seaboard). Yesterday, we shared the vista with a group of day-hikers from Pennsylvania, including one young acrobat who was doing backflips at the edge of the overlook (photo #7). Bat-shit crazy but ballsy. He also retrieved someone's lost sunglasses from a sketchy crevice.

Rohrbaugh Trail can be a tough hike due to muddy troughs that have formed in poor drainage areas. So if you decide to try it out - and it's absolutely worth the slog - wear a pair of good, water-proof hiking boots. This is wilderness, after all.
