O.k. this was my first adventure of barefoot hiking. It was an splendid overcast Father's Day and a lot of people were enjoying the trail. The trail was soft and wet, and pretty slippery in shoes. I managed the hike the up and back in bare feet. There were moments of being uncomfortable but the liberation and contact, not to mention a refreshing soak in every stream crossing was
worth it. The loose rock portion of the trail was, well, like acupressure a little painful (but free). I had a pair of flip flops in my back pocket but I never need them. In fact the only reason I tried the barefoot experience was because I forgot my sneakers and I didn't want to wear my dress shoes from church. So it begins...Distance: about 2.5 miles + some elevation gain
