Keeping with this year's theme of 'healthy living', a few weekends back, my partner-in-crime and I went hiking again. We drove about 20 minutes to reach another hiking spot called Davis Creek Regional Park in Washoe County, Nevada. We decided to go right after lunch so we can take our time and not hurry back since the sun sets early during the winter season. Just like the time we went to our last hike in Jones Creek Trail, we both haven't tried hiking in Davis Creek so we were excited. When we got to the regional park, we immediately set on the first trail we saw. It's challenging to bring a DSLR when hiking so I left Nestor at home and took the pictures from a camera phone instead. Over 5 minutes into the trail, we came at a fork in the road. It gave us options on what trail we want to take- The Discovery Trail which is about 1.7 miles or the Ophir Creek Trail which is 7.5 miles. The former offers a short trail while the latter offers a longer trail and it's going up the mountain (which means more challenge). So I guess by now you've already guessed the trail we took.
The hike up to the mountain is steep. Rocks, dried leaves, dried woods and big trees are the usual sights when coming up the mountain. The trail got steeper and slippery (if you're not wearing the right gear for hiking). There were areas where you have to be really careful to avoid falling in a bed of thorny bushes or sharp dried woods. Along the way, we even got each a sturdy stick to help us trek the trails.
