Today’s adventure was a repeat hike up Cowles Mountain, over to Pyles Peak, and back.

Cowles Mountain

The temperature started rising, the clouds over the mountains burned off early, and except for the haze in the distance, it was a nice day for a hike.

Pyles Peak

Cowles Mountain is the favored destination on this trail, so once you head towards Pyles Peak the crowds are left behind.
