Rob: Skyline Divide
This is NOT our favorite hike. Pretty covered by the tree-line most of the way up, so not really a lot to look at (until you get up). Maybe it was just the wrong time of year to hit this trail, but the horseflies would not leave Debby alone. Attempting to sit for lunch was an utter disaster. She was under attack so badly, that we left the peak and started down, trying to find a place to stop for lunch. We pulled off just into a forest area off the trail, started to eat and she was under attack again within minutes of stopping. No idea why they attacked just her. It was a hard hike mentally, but fairly easy physically. Just be warned, the horseflies are relentless. The run down was very quick!
