Darkness is becoming more common for my early morning hikes, but I’ve found this is one of the easier “nighttime” hikes. The city lights and the moon (if there is one), do a fantastic job of illuminating a rocky but worn path. No problem starting out in the dim light at 5am. It was a very cloudy morning and I was hoping for a good sunrise. It did not disappoint. I found myself in one of those rare situations where I was torn between wanting to stand and watch a fiery morning, displaying an array of colors from deep purples to incandescent oranges to actually doing the hike I had planned. I did my best trying to do both. Back in the day, you could waste a roll of film on an event. I felt I could very have wasted a memory card in trying to capture the morning show. I always enjoy doing the Mormon Trail and Hidden Valley is always a treat. I was fortunate that these trails allowed for decent sunrise views, so I was able to get the best of both worlds.
