Story

For work, we were proposing on a project to repair some damaged sections of the Agua Connector Trail, so Tara and I got permission to hike down to check out the damage even though the trail was closed. We hiked to the bottom of the switchbacks and took a bunch of pictures then hiked back up to the Ponderosa Point lookout.
