A little hike up Squaw.

I ran/hiked up squaw the other day. It is a little bit easier than Camelback and some other peaks in the area, but still enough for a good work out especially if you try and run what you can.
It is an easier hike, but I like it because you feel like you are actually climbing a peak because of the sharp rocks and cliffs.

I found a perfect seat in the rock cliff at the top that I sat in for a half an hour just thinking away. I can see all of the little hikers below.

This is what I was waiting for:
