Hiking, day 17: Nighthawk Trail

I was hoping I had waited long enough after the last snow fall to melt to go out on the trails, but after spending an extra 20 minutes and visiting two trail heads that were closed, I finally found myself at Hall Ranch for a quick hike.  Since the trails there were pretty muddy, too, I tried one of the easier, dedicated walking / horseback riding trails instead of the usual, more intense trail I normally take which is also used by bicyclists.  I was able to get a little bit of hike in before having to turn back a little sooner than usual due to the mud.
