Beware Of Cows

You won't be surprised if you see cows everywhere, the purpose is to maintain grazing and it reduces wildfire during summer. Even though they are used to people but still a Warning by the entrance to avoid a blindspot and not stepping to close by their Flight Zone.

The picture below is when we had to walk to another trail because bunch of cows won't give us permission to pass through, so we decided to turn and hike to the hill instead.

^{Beauty of bold trees by the terrain.}

Without knowing where we were heading, we just goofed around and relished every scenery we saw. Unfortunately, at the end of shortcut trail we saw a massive slope we had to pass or otherwise it would take us another 20 minutes to walk back to the main path.
It was literally 60° angle of steep hill. My son, Adam, walked down and hopped to avoid from falling. Not for me, my body was out of balance and rolled down. Luckily I didn't get hurt.
