TALES FROM THE TRAIL (AND SOMETIMES THE ROAD TOO)

Mother’s Day to Bedford Peak

On Mother’s Day (5/13) I took a short hike up to Bedford Peak with my oldest son (who is now home from college for the summer). The route was: Maple Springs Road to the Silverado Motorway, then right on The Main Divide to a small unmarked trail up to Bedford Peak. It was a great Mother’s Day gift. The weather was cool, and spring flowers were out in abundance. And when I say “short” hike, I do not in any way mean “easy.” That Silverado Motorway is a hell of a climb. In all, the distance only measured 7.25 miles, but the climb measured a gain of 2,176 feet! What a wonderful hike, and what beauty there was for me to photograph. Going back soon!
