Comments
Comments: This was the first of our "training hikes" for the 500-mile Camino de Santiago. Sage hiked with a full backpack; she carried the same weight she'll carry on the Camino in the spring. She did well and she said she felt comfortable.



The trail is beautifully maintained. We didn't get much in the way of views today, but the falling snow made the evergreens look gorgeous.



I'll have a video report on my blog this Tuesday (after I VOTE).
