Dist: 9.4km Elev: 750m Summit: 7044' Time: 3h Difficulty: 2/5A quick morning burn with Byron. We opted to avoid high avalanche risks by heading to the south end of K-Country for a tour of the windswept foothills. Coyote Hills is the unofficial name of these three unremarkable bumps, but trip reports of a surprisingly good panorama from the summit of the highest hill intrigued me enough to plan a trip. Unfortunately, due to some unexpectedly gnarly weather, our views from the top were quite limited. Nonetheless, Byron and I still managed to get out and enjoy a day in the outdoors while catching up and sharing some laughs. It could be the sleep-deprived parent in me talking, but sometimes short and sweet is a nice change of pace.

Always nice to spend some quality time catching up with a friend.
