On Wednesday we checked off the second of three places I'd wanted to visit this year. We went to Garden of the Gods and hiked the Indian Point trail. That leaves Cave In Rock but that might have to wait until next year. When we decided on this the Glue had to cancel her hair appointment for it. When I woke up I had a bit of vertigo type dizziness but it got better as the day went on.
The ride over was a little confusing but we got there without any major wrong turns. We did have one malfunction when a sign said trailhead but it ended up being a different trail so we turned around and found what we were looking for. When we got there I still wasn't 100%. The trail starts out through some woodlands but starts to rise quickly with the roots of trees forming a sort of uneven staircase. The trail continues up for quite a bit before starting to level out on the bluffs where there is some really nice scenery looking out over the land below. Needless to say I didn't get close to any overhangs. The trail then starts down and was hard to see with all the leaves. The leaves also covered the numerous rocks and roots that were on the trail and also made places slippery. This made the journey down a lot more difficult so we didn't get a chance to look around unless we stopped. When we got back to the start both of us had all we wanted. The trail was rated easy but the leaves didn't make it that easy. The Glue said it was her favorite trail so far. I want to try it again when I feel better but won't go until the leaves are gone.
