After hiking the bottom portion of this trail back in January, I had been wanting to finish it. A spur of the moment decision on a dark and stormy morning brought me back to finish the Shake Trail. I started at the upper trailhead and went down through many a cloud to about where I turned around back in January, while keeping an eye on the developing storms. Hiking back up was quite sticky, with almost overwhelming humidity. The meadow near the top of the trail was the best part, I hadn't expected that. I made it back to the top, surprised that the black skies hadn't unleashed Hell and then some. If not for the clouds, the views would have been awesome for sure! I'll have to come back again to get my fill of big views.
