Benches added along Y trail

Yesterday I was hiking the Y, just for fun and exercise, and I noticed a few new things.

First, they had a new gate and fences around the bottom that make it look quite a bit better than the previous chain linked fences.

The also had a nice sitting area at the bottom with about 9 benches facing the valley below. This will definitely be a great place to leave those friends who don’t quite feel up to the adventure of hiking to the top.

There are also a couple of benches scattered through the first few switchbacks which will also be a nice place to sit an have a talk if you are hiking with someone special.

I’ve already hiked the Y three times this year, and I hope to be able to do another ten or so trips, to help keep me in shape for grander adventures which will surely come this summer.
