Foothills hike - again

The hikers

Sept 8:

This time - the Boise foothills.  Nice sunny day with a bit of a breeze, temps in the 70's.  My body is slowly but surely getting its strength back.  But there is still quite a bit of huffing and puffing going on!

Skyline still hazy from the wildfires

Bicyclists and hikers

Hikers look like ants in the distance

A flat portion of the hike

Mountain bikers
We had to step off the trail many, many
times today to give them some room

Water

Government mosquito sampling
program, looking for West-Nile virus

Sage-brush country

Finally - back by the water,
where the foliage is greener and shadier
