huff puff

Huff-puff is a small mountain across from my office. The last time I hiked this was in September--it's too dark after work to hike now. The mountain is named Huff-puff due to the steepness of the beginning and and end of the trail.  The hike is a winding trail that takes about 45 minutes and is absolutely beautiful. The trail winds through the forest and ends on top of Huff Puff, which over looks [I think] the Anaconda range of the Rockies.

One thing I didn't get used to in the summer was temperature changes. Frosty mornings, warm afternoons, cold nights. Wearing pants and a sweater, only to change into shirt sleeves by afternoon.

Days are endless; I became spoiled by the hours of sunlight after work and feeling like I had forever to explore. Which is a false sense: now that I'm in the beginning of winter, and sunlight is fierce, cold and short.
