The Hancocks for #44 & #45

 September 12, 2019 likely my last solo hike....the Mountain forecast let me down as it said nothing about rain when I look at it last night.  The rain started just as I parked my car at the trailhead.  It now does say rain but not sure when the change was made.  It is not always about the views!  It was quiet in the woods except for my bear bell which I used a lot as  I did not see another hiker until I was halfway through the return trip.  Although overall a moderate hike I was surprised by the steepness much of the elevation is in the loop of the trail.

The Foliage change is just starting....





The greens in the forest were beautiful - the wet conditions almost made them more so 



I was able to move right along on the flats making this a pretty quick hike 


The sun did come out right as I returned to my car...but overall it was a good hike.  Any day in the forest is a good day 😃
