Let’s face it. When you’re hiking a 2,650-mile trail, every mile isn’t going to have spectacular scenery. I said yesterday’s section could be described as monotonous, but that may have been a little unfair.
The trail contained many long stretches through a forest of similar character, but repetitious might have been a better word to describe it. For much of the day, the trail lacked views beyond the surrounding trees. That didn’t necessarily make it boring.
In contrast, today’s section was varied. It seemed that a different kind of trail was encountered with every turn.
