Hiking in Martin Nature Park

It's no Grand Canyon, but it'll have to do for now.  I went on a 2 hour hike today in a nature park near my house.  The trails are flat, but it's still good practice for hiking with the pack loaded.  Had the pack loaded up with 20 lbs of gear.  That is loaded up with everything I'm planning on taking, including a full bladder in the pack.  I'm still missing my five finger shoes, and the food we're taking, but that's it.  About 8-10 more pounds of stuff and it's good to go.  I'll probably wear my pack at school for a few days to get used to the weight on my shoulders. 
I had fun hiking.  I only saw one other person out there.  It was so peaceful having the whole place to myself.  Here are some pictures from my day.

Great pictures! The one of you by the rocks could be at the GC! I would love to hike down to the bottom of the GC, just to see it from there would be awesome. Not just "seeing the canyon" but being in it. WOW. That will be incredible. Can't wait to see the pictures.
