"Peaceful ending to August. Back to back sunsets for the win. It has been a while since I’ve been up Pilot Knob and it didn’t disappoint. This was Jen’s first hike up there. We enjoyed the new rock stairs along the way, reworked trail and many frogs seen along the descent. Days have been tough to get through and filled with dark clouds. It’s times like this I’m appreciative for the air in my lungs, clothes on my back, and thankful to be able to rise another day and see the world from atop." — scottturner • Aug 31, 2021

"Participated in the LGLC Hike-a-Thon. Went with Mat, Emily, Parker, and Ella. Tried to go to the falls, but coming back would have been too steep for the kids. Saw a Scarlett Tanager for the first time. " — cmarion1979 • Jul 5, 2017
