The Edge of a World

Not long ago I had some fun at a rock scramble trail which took quite a bit of energy and ended at the top of a high hill. That was a lot of fun, hopping around from boulder to boulder and exploring the area. It's a bit of a labyrinth too. If they weren't marking the trail with arrows from time to time you might end up off the boulder trail early (they give you plenty of opportunities to exit if you're getting tired), or even meeting some dead ends. The trail guides you to a cavernous area, and the last bit of the trail is almost vertical.

Here you can see. We got to a narrow crevice, and I pointed my phone camera straight up. What a cool area, but I suppose the photo doesn't really capture the feeling of it. It was also a good source of shade as the sun was out for most of the boulder trail. They had ladders for us as we made our way up to the top.

And this was where we found a great vista point and a little wooden outlook to sit at. It was a little unnerving for me since I'm slightly afraid of heights and looking over the edge of the wooden seat you can see pretty much straight down. I should have spent a bit longer parked at this spot and just stared out at the leafy expanse with the welcome breeze to cool me down. I like how the mountains just fade into the distance. Maybe one day I will return, with a pot of tea and just park here... I bet the sunset is nice.
