Independence Day Hike at Murphy-Hanrehan
In just over a week we head to Switzerland for our hiking trip. I wanted to get a longer and harder hike in before we left so this morning Tammy and I got up early, let the kids sleep in, and went to Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve for a 5.3 mile hike with about 900 ft of elevation gain. It took us 2h 8m to finish. My shirt was like I had wore it in a shower when we got done. I brought my poles and was initially feeling silly, but after a couple of miles the trail started going up and down more and I was happy to have them. 😅 Also on Strava.
