The initial hike to the paved portion of the trail is a bit strenuous. I'm sure a little pre hike stretching would have been good. I could have avoided the painful cramp a few feet up the incline; stupid me. Once we hit the paved potion of the trail it was pretty steady. We continued to the side trail up to the radio towers had conversations about the city layout, identification of landmarks and the possibility of discovering a dead body. One of us thought the dead body discovery was a reality however, upon closer inspection found it to be nothing but a pile of boulders. It was a good hike nonetheless.
