With the whole day ahead of you, you decide to take a more strenuous hike. There’s a scenic overlook on a mountainside which can be reached by the Vulture Hill Trail, which promises rhododendron groves, slate rocks between the trees in the underbrush, steep grades, and a view that will make the trek worth it. After preparing a quick breakfast of oatmeal and packing a lunch, you set off towards the overlook.
