Apex Park Hike

I went hiking in Apex Park which is just a mile from my front door.  Why it took me so long to go hiking in the park, I don’t know.  Apex trail follows the canyon and once was a wagon road to the gold fields.

Thunderstorm coming in.  I ran down the mountain until I was low enough I didn’t feel vulnerable to lightning strikes.
