12.5 m Big Schloss hike

Seven people actually showed up on a 60f (15c) rainy day to do this 12.5 mile (20km) 2600 feet (800m) elevation gain hike. There were a lot of water from the past few days of rain over-running the streams and the trails, so we danced around rocks and cushy leaves patches on the water/trail for the first 3.8 miles which was more tiring than steep uphills for me. My boots eventually got wet and stayed wet until the end of the hike. The good news were only 1.5 hours of rain and a lot of spring flowers blooming, so it was still better to get out of the city for the green and nature. I also saw some tiny but very pink mushrooms which you can try to spot form the last photo.
