Mt. Muscoco Hike
A week or so ago we decided to hike up to Mt. Muscoco (see elevation in Summits List). I had done Mt. Cutler before but Muscoco is relatively new in the past couple of years. The trail starts at the same trailhead which is in Cheyenne Canyon. It was listed as moderate but seemed much harder since we started at 10 AM and it was hot! It's marked pretty well but we came to a flat area and the marker was missing and we thought that it could have been the summit but another hiker clued us in as to the trail and we continued on up and around the back to the summit. Off to the left at the top the views were wonderful. There weren't that many people on the trail (they probably had all started earlier than us). Anyway it was a great workout and I think we got over 17,000 steps that morning. We stopped at Sacred Grounds (coffee, lunch, dinner) and got a refreshing drink. I'm going to add it to my bucket list since they do dinner on the weekends and it was a cute, small, local place with outdoor seating.
