The "Fab Five" grind their way to Mt. Tallac via the Goat Trail.  Not an easy trail. Shorter but steeper,

There were some scary spots

Since I did some historical stuff with Mt. Tallac Hikes, I thought I put in some photos from my first climb.  In 2001, I climbed it with my wife Ali, my grandkids Justin and Carlyn, and a friend Liz and her son Jason.  Carlyn was almost 5 years old.  If it hadn't been for a dog hiking with her owner, I don't think she would have made it.  But she loved the dog and it kept her going.  I think I ruined her from being a hiker in her later years. She is now 30. Many years later I climbed with my grandson Justin who became a stud athlete.  He was up there hours before we made it. Youth is such a great gift.  It's a shame we waist it on Kids.  LOL
