Another 100 Feet is about always going a little bit further on the trail. You're tired and you ache, but you want to see what's about the next turn, and you push yourself. Just another 100 feet, and you see what's there. Then you think you're ready to turn back but wonder what's just up ahead. You push yourself to go another 100 feet, and you see what's there. Then you decide to go just another 100 feet...

Always, Always, Always Check The Weather Before You Go!

A Note To Readers

My ratings are subjective and based on my own experiences. What is easy or difficult for me may be entirely different for you. For example, there are hikes that I rate as hard, which for me are, but other hikers blow past me with no problem at all. Sometimes I will see them on their way back while I’m still hiking in and huffing and puffing. All ratings on any site that reviews hikes are subjective and based on what the writer experienced and should be taken as general information. You are encouraged to read multiple reviews of a particular hike before you make your decision to take on that hike, and most importantly, you must know your own abilities and have the common sense ability to call an audible!
