Guest Post: This is a short trail along a rocky ridge near the Bear Mountain golf resort. Lots of Arbutus trees and views of the golf course. Mason found a geocache as well.
We rarely walk on flat surfaces. When moving along a ridge one way, the earth tilts downward to one side, causing you to lean left. Returning is the opposite. You’re using your legs differently, as muscles are flexed to maintain balance on steeper terrain. Calves, ankles and feet are all in flux as you move. Your eyes are focused often downward, anticipating slopes, grades of steepness and footholds.
