Story:
This hike is now one of my Top 10 Favorite Hikes. The views were just spectacular and the rock scrambling challenging. As you will see from the photos I was less than graceful on one of the scrambles :-) It was a great hike!

Tips:
There is a very very difficult section on the Timp Torne trail heading up to the Torne. If you are short like me you may need assistance. Also, poles would be helpful on the descent.

We took Bruno as you can see in the pictures. He needed to be lifted on two small sections but really enjoyed the rest of the rock scrambling. He is a 15lb Shihtzu too-- a little guy. Enjoy your hike tomorrow. The autumn leaves will make the views all the better.
